I saved the loudest one for last :) It’s crazy and bright, and I love it. Unapologetic pink, blending into bright yellow/green in a perfect echo of a gerber daisy. The colour deepens to a pinky purple right at the edges. Crazy daisy :) And there you have it, my three new springtime additions to…

Willow graduates slowly from brown, to chestnut, to beige and gray with just a hint of yellow. To answer a question asked yesterday – these yarns are dyed-to-order,…

This Friday, The Blue Brick’s Ombré line will hit our online store! Good…
