Pre-Order: Great Canadian Road Trip

The weather is starting to warm up and just like that Road Trip Season has begun!  As a part of the Great Canadian Road Trip collaboration, this is my Cavendish Collection.  Fourteen years ago, my husband and I packed up our little Volkswagen Beetle and hit the open road for a trip out east.  We went with very little plan in mind and found out way to Prince Edward Island.  We visited woolen mills and Green Gables, Charlottetown and Cows Creamery, and of course the beautiful red beaches, like the ones in Cavendish.  The colours I dyed for this collection are inspired by the palette of the PEI shoreline and the photos we took on our trip there.   

This listing is a pre-order. If the yarn weight & quantity of your choosing is not already dyed up, it will be dyed to order and shipped within there weeks.  It is hand dyed in small batches in Ontario, Canada. 

Due to the hand-dyed nature of the yarn they are always subject to differences between batches and skeins, and each one will be one of a kind.  If using multiple skeins in one project, it is recommended, as with all hand-dyed yarn, to alternate skeins.  

Since this listing is dyed to order, the yarn in the demo may not be the exact skeins that you will receive.  Every effort is always made to ensure the photographs reflect the colour of the yarn, but screens may change the appearance of the colours outside of our control.  Also please note that each base takes the colours differently, sometimes even when the fibre content is the same.
