The final mushroom colourway is, um, Wood Blewit again! It’s because I accidentally dyed it on merino/nylon instead of bluefaced leicester. I thought it would be fun to redo it differently so one represented the gills and another the cap. yorkshireyarnfest.co.uk #yorkshireyarnfest #mothyandthesquid
