Daisies - MDSW 2021 - Katahdin - Babette

Cheerful and sunshine-bright, Daisies is our second special colorway for the 2021 Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival. Petals of yellow, orange, coral-pink, and warm purple are scattered over a natural cream background.

We'll do our best to match multiple skeins. If you have a color you'd prefer to see more of, please let us know in the notes at checkout.

This colorway is a Babette: every skein and every batch is a bit different, but Babs has a method of recreating these artistic colorways. The photograph is an example of representative skeins from this colorway; the skein you receive may differ somewhat. If you have any questions about the color, please give us a call or email to ask for a photo - we are always happy to describe our current batch for you to make sure it meets your needs!
