With all the #roving testers, by far the most popular colorway to test has been "Éan na Soiscéala" (Bird of the Gospel) from the #bookofkells collection.
I might give the monthly roving club (yes coming in Jan) a choice so they can have a mix of roving colorways to felt or spin. 🧶

The upper one is baby alpaca and the one on the right is merino dk. Below is a knit sample and in the upper left is a Yarn cake. There are flowers and beads scattered and a seashell in the right corner.

I was in 2 minds abt this colorway "Monastic Sunset" when I created it for the #BookOfKells collection. I thought it might get overshadowed by other colorways but I've been pleasantly surprised by how much many of you love it. This recent roving order turned out gorgeously, I think. 🧶

a yarn cake in the upper left and an open yarn blank that is a gradient of amethyst that transitions to soft persimmon and soft gold. There is an image from the book of kells that has lots of celtic designs in it and leaves and beads scattered around the yarn
A lovely customer had a special order for a #BookOfKells colorway in a gradient form. So, her wish was my command. I gave her a holiday season upgrade, & she got a couple of yarn cakes in sparkle yarn in fingering/sock. Scribe's Ember pays homage to the gorgeous artistry of the scribe. 🧶

Today's TL cleanse is brought to you by a mix & match order from the #BookofKells collection. This order was cash/sock.
Delicious colors perfect for the Fall. The little hints of brightness that reflect some manuscript color pops feel scandalous. 😂🧶

An order of "Seafoam Warrior" in lace weight alpaloop and bobble chunky. A mix of thin and thick yarn that will work up in different but really cool ways. Based on a warrior from the #BookOfKells this is a gorgeous sea breezy colorway.
I can't wait to see how these work up. 🧶

In today’s @independent.ie
I review Victoria Whitworth’s new book on the #BookofKells held at @tcddublin.bsky.social. Whitworth’s study is sumptuously produced and a fascinating read. I’m just not crazy about the title…
