She blesses the land we work to provide food for ourselves and others. This yard holds the rich brown dirt and lush green crop. This Yarn reminds us to be thankful for those who grow our food and provide sustenance for us. "Hermes, God of orators, merchants, thieves and travelers and Herald of the Gods. Hermes is the god who delivers the word of the gods throughout the world. He protects those travelling and those who tell stories. He blesses those who try to make a living selling their wares. This yarn is dyed in the hope you will use it to make your own stories through your projects. Travel and share the beauty. Black on the flag stands for Remembrance. For generations, LGBTQ+ folk have being persecuted and attacked in the name of Religious Freedoms. For a decade, the US Government allowed us to suffer an epidemic, blatantly ignoring calls to action. This yarn is dyed in honor of those whose lives were cut tragically short so that we can live openly, out, and proud. Apollo, God of the Sun, Music, Healing, and Prophecy. He was famously in a love triangle with Hyacinthus and Zephyr, God of the West Wind, which ultimately caused Hyacinthus' demise. Heartbroken, Apollo transformed Hyacinthus into a beautiful flower which he named the Hyacinth. This 100% Merino DK weight yarn is dyed to remind us to live in the moment and enjoy the days we are given.  Blue on the flag stands for Serenity. There's a certain moment in all our lives when we realize we can just exist. For some, that moment lasts a second. For other, Months. But that moment of serenity, where our lives and existence coincide... Priceless. This 100% Merino Wool DK weight Yarn is dyed to remind you to find your moment of Serenity. Wet block when finished working. Some color bleeding may happen on first wash. The yarn is dyed in the same pot, but that by no means promises they will each take the dye the same. If you are making a large project, please feel free to reach out and I can work with you to ensure the yarn you get is from the same dyelot, or dye them special for you."
