The Raven - Handpainted Merino wool top/roving - 4.85 oz

Description

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door —
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door —
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore —
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

- From "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe

This grim colorway features a blend of midnight and cobalt blue on top of black and gray. Merino wool is soft, squishy and wonderful to spin. This braid weighs 4.85 ounces.

All fiber is hand-painted with acid dyes by me. Fiber has been washed in Kookaburra Delicate wool wash and rinsed several times, but color may still bleed slightly during the first wash or two. This wool WILL felt, so hand wash gently in cool water unless felting is what you're after!
