Join the Hoard Saturday March 2, 10a ET

A group of dragons is called a thunder, due to the fact that all their wings beating makes a sound like rolling thunder.

Every month join us for this journey through lore, literature and film as we explore Twelve Dragons — stories of these magnificent creatures that are powerful, cunning, trusting and that love to, as we also do, hoard treasure.  In 2024 we will explore different dragons from all over the world, from their lore, stories and colors. Twelve new exclusive colors on Lucent as well as a collection of dragon-themed treasures, notions and collectables are entering the den every other month.

For our first dragon, we must leave our warm hobbit hole and venture deep into the mountains.

A fire drake from the Third Age and the “Last Great Dragon” of Middle Earth. For 171 hoarded his treasures in the once great Dwarf home under the Lonely Mountain.
Extra treasures joining the yarn will be a three-sticker Dragon pack – Fantasy creatures sticker sheet – Dragon Eggs sticker sheet.

Each month, a color inspired by Folklore around the world is released, and this month’s folklore introduces us to one of the seven legendary monsters of Guarani Mythology. Mbói Tu’ĩ was once a beautiful parrot who lived on Earth without evil. He knew the secret path to enter this paradise guarded by the god Rupave, and because of this was given Lechiguana to drink by some Mamluks until he was so drunk he told them how to find the path. Knowing it was Mboi Tui who revealed the secret, Rupave cursed him and took away his ability to fly, transforming him into his current form of a giant serpent body with streaks and scales, with a feathered head and beak of a parrot, and split tongue the color of blood. He patrols the swamps of south central South America (Paraguay and some parts of Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia) living in the humid atmosphere and local flora while protecting the wetlands and amphibian life around him. It is said his terrifying squawks can be heard far off, instilling terror in anyone who hears it.

Folklore goes live Saturday, June 3, 9 a.m. ET – There are ready to ship skeins and then preorders until we have reached capacity.

The Folklore Club is a monthly club released into the world on the first weekend of every month inspired by creatures of lore from around the world.

May’s installment is inspired by Ahuizotl, a legendary creature from Aztec mythology also described as a “spiny aquatic thing” or “water Dog.” Lurking in deep pools of water or caverns, this small dog-sized creature’s purpose is to protect the local fish, or it was sent by the gods Tlaloc and Chalchiuhtlicue to collect souls they like. It is coated with dark black waterproof fur that tends to spike when leaving the water, small pointed ears and hands similar to that of a monkey on both of its arms and the end of its smooth, rubbery tail which they use to capture their prey.

Most accounts say the Ahuizotl snatches people from the water’s edge to feast on their eyes, nails and teeth, sometimes using cries that are similar to that of a human baby or sending all the frogs and fish to the surface to bring people in closer.

It will be available on Lucent: 70% SW BFL 20% Silk 10% Cashmere 100G 438yds

Wolfsbane – Aconitum Napellus
Preorders go live Saturday, August 6, 10a
Nectar: 60% SW Merino | 20% Yak | 20% Silk | 100G | 400Yds

Wolfsbane is another extremely well-known poison laced throughout history from Greek mythology to Anglo-Saxon monasteries. It is also known as Monkshood as its lilac purple flowers resemble the cowls of English monks.

This plant can be found wild in the Mediterranean Basin with the scientific name coming from the hills of Aconitus where it is said Hercules dragged Cerberus from the underworld and battled the three headed dog, his drips of saliva falling and bringing forth this plant to the earth. The Queen of Poisons is deadly from flower to root, causing death within two to six hours of ingestion. First it will feel like bugs are crawling all over, then your mouth and face will start to go numb. Soon you will feel tired and the paralysis will set in leading you to asphyxiation.

Wolfsbane is linked to death, rebirth and transformation is all forms of sorcery including, not surprisingly, to Werewolves. It can either be used to dispose of marauding wolves or if you touch the plant during the full moon it could induce lycanthropy.

Pandora’s Box is a December yarn countdown inspired by the lore, art and history of none other than Pandora’s box. This year’s yarn countdown will have two options.

1) 24 – 20g Minis and 1 100G skein ($190 + Shipping)
OR
2) 5 – 100G Skeins ($170+ Shipping)

There will only be one base available for BOTH boxes (it’s easier for you and me). The base in question is the new Nectar base (60% SW Merino | 20% Yak | 20% Silk 100G 400 Yds) and a variation of the Nectar base (SW Merino/Yak/Nylon) for the minis.

Both boxes will include a shawl pattern by Lindsey of Larkspur Knits!

The four colors of the full skeins will be four colors included in the 24 minis (I will be posting recommended opening dates so they coordinate)

Preorders will open July 1 at 9am ET for ten days or until this batch sells out.

A second round will open on August 1 at 11am ET.

Boxes will be shipping out in mid to late October in order to get to all their homes well before the December start date.
