We are thrilled to announce the April installment of the Sleeping Bear Yarn Club: Fritz Forsythia. Dyed for us by the talented Rhonda of Three Trees Fibre Craft in Australia. This is an assigned pooling skein. It’s bold yellows echo the florescent spring flower with a clear, rich blue sky. The sight of a Forsythia bush takes me right back to our childhood home and seeing this electric yellow. Hardly anything in the rest of the backyard view is happening on Fritz Road. No color to the grass yet. The hills still look a pile of sticks. This is a bizarre, random bush. It makes me think of past Easters and our mom’s family coming over for the day. It’s trying to be warm outside. It’s a welcome jolt of energy before we can muster it on our own. The first exciting piece of landscape to set our sights on.
April’s delightful little package will include a skein of Three Trees Fibre Craft Fledgling (75% Superwash Merino Wool, 25% Nylon ‑‑ 437 yds), a Lapis Blue Howlite stitch marker and your choice of the Kettle Lakes Socks, Ellie Baby Sweater or Rocket Pop Shawl pattern, as well as the free gifts for NEW 12-month members, Thank You gifts for Year Two members and Leelanau Lifetime Members for those in Years Three through Eleven.*
