I love walking through the woods in early summer as the foxgloves ar starting to come into full bloom. These tall, bright, cheery flowers have a huge number of different folk names around the country, these include Ladies Fingers, Lion's Mouth, Fairies Caps, Foxes Bells and Goblins Gloves. All of the names show the link between this flower and the 'fairy folk'. I remember putting these flowers over the end of my fingers, like little thimbles as a child - until I chose one with a bee inside!
These foxglove inspired rolags are made with 21 micron merino and baby llama. I added baby llama to the blend, to give the resulting yarn a soft halo - just like the inside of the foxglove
You will receive 100g of the Witches Thimbles rolags which will between 6-8 rolags.
The fibres in this blend will felt.
