This year - Ancient Arts is inspired by children's literature! YEAH! And the glorious color of the month will be dyed on Ancient Arts Socknado - a yummy and squashy fingering weight yarn. Each 100 gram skein of Socknado has 385 yards (350 meters) of 80% superwash fine merino / 20% nylon goodness.
Here is a bit about their inspiration:
Our March Colour of the Month is inspired by the children's book The Very Hungry Caterpillar which is a 1969 children's picture book designed, illustrated, and written by American author Eric Carle. The plot follows a very hungry caterpillar that consumes a variety of foods before pupating and becoming a butterfly. It incorporates elements that contribute to early childhood education, including counting, days of the week, and food.
This book has proven to be a classic, and has sold more than 50 million copies, been translated into more than 60 languages, won numerous awards, and been adapted for television. It is considered to be one of the greatest childhood books of all time, and its iconic art style, featuring collage artwork and pages with holes where the caterpillar "ate" through the page remain as popular with children today as when it was first published.
Our colourway comes from the part of the story where our caterpillar becomes a beautiful butterfly and draws together all the wonderful colours we see in the butterfly page!
