This listing is for a PREORDER ONLY and will be dyed up to the quantity you need when you place your order. Please note the terms for pre-order and understand this may cause delays to receiving your 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 crone goddess has many forms but the who is represented here has dominion over winter, the wilderness, creation, and the cycle of life. Her symbols are mountains, storms, evergreens, heather, and the stag.

With the first breath of frost, Cailleach, the winter crone, rose from her mountain throne, cloaked in the storm’s fury and crowned with ice. Her robes, spun from icy blue, grey, and white, billowed like snowfall over the land, while flecks of orange sparked in the frozen air—embers of the fire she kept hidden, waiting for spring. With her staff, she shaped the peaks and lochs, her touch hardening rivers to glass and silencing the earth beneath a heavy quilt of snow. But even as she held the land in winter’s grasp, she knew her reign was fleeting—for when the warmth returned, she would sleep once more, waiting to rise again when the cold winds called her home.

Disclaimer

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.
