River Severn - Billow

This rich teal blue, created especially for the 2019 Book Club, was inspired by the color of the river Severn and the deep blues traditionally associated with medieval art. Our Book Club read the book A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters.

Billow

Billow combines the structure of a Pima cotton chainette tube with the soft fuzziness of unspun baby alpaca for a super-soft, warm, and fluffy finish. We are calling this a worsted weight yarn, but because of the fluffiness you can work Billow successfully at a variety of gauges. We're envisioning lightweight warm sweaters and cozy accessories in this yarn. We also love that Billow is all natural fibers. Cotton doesn't take up dye the same way animal fibers do, so you'll see highlights of the tube peek through.
