Ban Chaorach - Scottish Goddess Collection - Hand Dyed Yarn

The Scottish Goddess Collection represents a selection of powerful and beautify deities that hail from the north and live in the myths of the ancient, and perhaps modern people of Scotland.

This mother goddess is the protector of sheep, the pastoral landscapes, and agricultural abundance. She is represented by wool, the shepherds crook, and the clover.

Across the rolling hills, where the morning mist kissed the heather, Ban-Chaorach walked among her flock, her presence as soft as newly spun wool. Dressed in the pale greens of fresh pasture, the buttery yellow of morning light, and the warm brown of rich earth, she was the quiet guardian of shepherds and sheep alike. With a gentle hand, she wove the land’s bounty into wool, each strand carrying the warmth of the sun and the whisper of the wind. In the spring, as lambs stumbled on unsteady legs, her laughter rang across the meadows, a promise of protection, plenty, and the turning of the seasons.

Colourways may appear slightly different on your screen than they do in person, and I have taken every care to ensure the picture on my site reflect the true colours. Turning up the brightness on your device may help.
As with all hand-dyed yarns, there may be slight variations between skeins due to differences in dye lots and potential deviations in application of the dyes. It is recommended you purchase enough yarn for your project at the one time to ensure you receive skeins from the same dye lot to maintain some consistency. Alternating your skeins every row or few rows is a good practice when working on large projects to avoid undesirable colour pooling or noticeable variations.
Yarns are rinsed and washed after the initial dyeing process, however, some bleeding may still occur with the first few washes. Handwashing separately in cold water is recommended and laying items flat to dry will ensure they maintain their shape.

This yarn comes from a pet friendly household and while care is taken to remove the potential for allergies, please keep this in mind when placing your order.
