Welcome to another Storied Yarns Knit-Along/Spin-Along! This time, let's take a little trip to my favorite country spot: Downton Abbey!
We'll sit down to tea with Robert and Cora, listen to the Dowager Countess make cracks on the Americans, and watch with baited breath as Sybil makes her next shocking move. Will Edith stab Mary under the table with her dinner fork? Will Thomas show up at drag to serve the beef brisket? Who knows?!? What we CAN know is that we'll have plenty of fun with this spin-along and knit-along until Season 3 finally premieres!
With this purchase, you will receive a braid of combed top/roving, 4oz total. I will dye the fiber for your package according to the Downton Abbey inspiration you choose! You will also receive fun themed goodies in your package, so please let me know if you have any allergy issues as there may be food or fragrance involved.
Once all KAL/SAL purchases are in (I plan to leave them up until the end of April so I can ship in early May) I will order supplies and get dyeing. You will receive your package in the mail shortly after that! Then you can join in the fun at my Storied Yarns group on Ravelry.com to show off your fiber choice and your knitting/spinning. At the end of the Fiber-Along I will draw a prize winner from the list of people who spin or knit the contents of their packages.
Some ideas for inspiration:
- I already have existing colorways for several Downton characters; you can see those here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.312304772152115.64597.224755280907065&type=3. I'm happy to dye one of these existing colorways for you OR you can choose another interpretation of one of these characters with the colors YOU choose.
- Choose a particular episode or scene to be your inspiration. How about "Mary's Turkish Delight" or "Sybil's New Dress," for instance? Come visit this thread in my Ravelry group to find more inspiration and discuss your colorway choices: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/storied-yarns/2071901/1-25.
If you have any questions about this purchase please feel free to send me a message here or on Ravelry as Jessecreations.
NOTE: I hand dye all of my yarns and fibers in my smoke-free, cat-friendly home. You will have the choice of Downton Abbey inspirations for this KAL/SAL, and I will dye your fibers with colorfast acid dyes.
