With all the #roving testers, by far the most popular colorway to test has been "Éan na Soiscéala" (Bird of the Gospel) from the #bookofkells collection.

I might give the monthly roving club (yes coming in Jan) a choice so they can have a mix of roving colorways to felt or spin. 🧶

I was in 2 minds abt this colorway "Monastic Sunset" when I created it for the #BookOfKells collection. I thought it might get overshadowed by other colorways but I've been pleasantly surprised by how much many of you love it. This recent roving order turned out gorgeously, I think. 🧶

A lovely customer had a special order for a #BookOfKells colorway in a gradient form. So, her wish was my command. I gave her a holiday season upgrade, & she got a couple of yarn cakes in sparkle yarn in fingering/sock. Scribe's Ember pays homage to the gorgeous artistry of the scribe. 🧶

Today's TL cleanse is brought to you by a mix & match order from the #BookofKells collection. This order was cash/sock.

Delicious colors perfect for the Fall. The little hints of brightness that reflect some manuscript color pops feel scandalous. 😂🧶

An order of "Seafoam Warrior" in lace weight alpaloop and bobble chunky. A mix of thin and thick yarn that will work up in different but really cool ways. Based on a warrior from the #BookOfKells this is a gorgeous sea breezy colorway.

I can't wait to see how these work up. 🧶
