Yup, Yarnia has both a yarn club & a roving club. Some fiber lovers have joined both & now I have to figure out how to consolidate these for some of you bc that was unexpected. I should never ever underestimate fiber lovers. I have learned my lesson. 🧶 Anyway next month's sneak peek coming soon!

#BHM Day 15: Black Pilgrims on the Road 🧶 The figure at the heart of this colorway is a Black knight shown mid-journey, riding with purpose rather than spectacle. He appears in the late-15th-cent travel account of Arnold von Harff’s travel account, a record of pilgrimage routes, 1/6 #yarnsky

Split image. Left: a skein of yarn in a silvery platinum grey with subtle undertones of pale purple and soft pink, resting on airy fiber.

Right: a late medieval manuscript illustration showing a Black knight on horseback during pilgrimage, wearing light-colored garments and riding through a simple landscape.

Day 11: Early Modern Black Voyagers🧶 This colorway is inspired by an anonymous Black nobleman depicted in "Merchant Receiving a Moor in the Harbour," a Dutch painting by Nicolaes Berchem (1620–1683), c. 1650. The term “Moor” in premodern Europe was not a fixed or singular identity: it #yarnsky 1/6
