This will be Created by Elsie B’s sixth seasonal fiber countdown. It started with Spring 2022 and has continued to be a customer favorite.
On Blue Faced Leicester this time, you can choose from a total of 15 oz or 7.5 oz (1 oz or .5 oz pieces)
Orders close on Monday, May 22nd and will ship out May 29th and should arrive with plenty of time to start the daily surprise on June 7th. Starting that day means you’ll open the very last piece on the official first day of summer!
Each of the 15 pieces are packaged individually in a white mini paper lunch bag and there will be pieces of a poem inspired by the season stapled to each bag with the numbered order in which you should unwrap each piece.
How you use the pieces is completely up to you — we’ve had people keep them in individual mini skeins, do one large skein with all the colorways, pair a few days together, or wait until they’ve opened all the days before deciding on the color placement they like best.
The color inspiration for this countdown is red and aquamarine blue, but there will likely be other shades and tones that sneak their way into the final project. Typically each piece includes two or more colors for visual interest as you’re working with them (so each piece isn’t just a straight solid color).
I hope you’ll join us for the fun and if this round isn’t to your taste, keep your eye out for Fall’s Countdown coming soon!
