A Delightful Disorder - PREORDER

“Nowhere is there cold symmetry-a delightful disorder reigns everywhere, with graceful simplicity and rural beauty... […] I returned to Paris, threw myself on my bed, and thought: Never have I seen anything as magnificent as the château of Versailles with its grounds, or anything as graceful as Trianon with its rustic beauty!" 

 ~ Nikolay Mikhailovich Karamzin 

That evening, we dressed up once more and spent the late hours in the Cabinet Doré. I laughed at it being referred to as the Gold Room, because while there was cold, the deep velvets stood out to me even more than the gold did even if it was plentiful. 

We listened to musicians play while we amused ourselves with different games. The time passed quickly, until I could feel the night pressing upon us, and all the bright pastels suddenly darkened to more saturated shadows of their daytime coloring. 

Welcome to A Summer at Versailles. An all tonals collection inspired by the palace estate and the Queen who made it infamous. A Delightful Disorder is a saturated blue-green.

All skeins are hand-dyed with care in a smoke-free and pet-free home. Please note that while all skeins are dyed together, every skein of yarn is unique and there may be some slight variation between them. After dyeing, all yarn is washed and rinsed thoroughly, however, a small amount of color bleeding may still occur during the first wash.  

For best care, please gently hand wash in cold water with a wool wash and lay flat to dry. Store yarn in an area away from direct sunlight to help maintain color. 

This yarn is PREORDER only. Please allow 6 - 8 weeks for the turnaround time.

All photographs are taken in natural light, and I try to keep the editing to a minimum, but colors may vary from monitor to monitor. 

The wool used in this yarn is ethically produced from sheep that have NOT been mulesed.
