In 2025, Ancient Arts color of the month will be on items that spark creativity and inspiration. For June - it is a stunning and dramatic colorway! We do have some complimenary colors for this one as well - Berrylicious and Puddle Jumper.
Your purchase is for a skein of 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. And here are a few of our favorite patterns:
Window into Winter - a lovely crocheted shawl
Sassles - a fun knitted shawl in two colors by NellKnits
Here is a bit from Ancient Arts regarding their inspiration:
Our June Colour of the Month is inspired by the the beauty of hummingbirds! Hummingbirds are fascinating creatures and the colour of one in particular caught our eye! The Rivoli's Hummingbird is almost too pretty to be real. The purple crown and emerald throat makes for a magnificent hummingbird that we just couldn't resist as our June inspiration. We do see Hummingbirds here in Calgary (and they like to visit my yard as I grow a lot of flowers just for them) but they are a little less spectacular than this amazing variety. The Rivoli’s Hummingbird were once named The Magnificent Hummingbird and for good reason - they are spectacular! These large, dark hummingbirds live in mountainous pine-oak forests and shady canyons between Nicaragua and the extreme southwestern United States.
