This fabulous colourway is dyed to order. This means your yarn will be shipped approximately two weeks after you place your order. The colour is available on a range of yarn bases and weights (see below!).
 
Lamb Dress As Mutton - There is a saying: "Mutton Dressed As Lamb".  According to the Fashion History Museum, "mutton" (the name for meat from a mature sheep) was a play on the word ‘Matron’.  And in 1810, this word was becoming associated with aging aunties and humourless chaperones who wouldn’t let their charges dance the waltz.  
 
As a middle-aged woman, I could write a whole PhD just on this! I'm working at accepting my age, and the changes that come with it. I try to see them with pride, as a sign of my privileged life.
 
With this yarn, I wanted to mess with the saying and make a point - though subtle and switched it around.  
 
I originally dyed this to complement a lace weight 'Oh My Gawd!'.  Knitting or crocheting with two strands together producing another whloe beautiful fabric.  
 
On its own it also shines!
