Our other dyer, Pretty String, offered to dye up our winter sock club. At first we thought it would be a dyer’s choice for the theme and I was happy with that as I had no thoughts about another theme. Then I was spinning a colourway from my Advent Calendar Fibre Club from On a Quest for Fibre and I immediately was thrown back to the time I spent on Ellesmere Island in Canada’s Arctic.
I was there just before the sun set for the final time for that year. The colours to the left represent very well the great outdoors… the snow, the sky, the baby icebergs being birthed along the coast of the Arctic Ocean…
The colours of buildings, however, are similar to those of Jellybean Row in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Bright, cheery colours. So the skeins may not be all icy blue as you might suppose!
