Nurtured Reverie - PREORDER

“She loved everying that lulled and nurtured reverie, every pleasure that spoke to young women and distracted young queens: private retreats where friendships could blossom, intimate conversations to which her soul could yield, and nature, her friend, and the woods, her confidantes, and the distant horizon where sight and thought were lost to view, and flowers and their eternal celebration.”

 ~ EDMOND AND JULES GONCOURT, Histore de Marie Antoinette, 1858

We found it easy to get caught up in the life at Versailles. We spent so little time in the actual palace, instead spending our time with the Queen in the Trianons or the gardens. 

Life was gentle and quiet besides the music and laughter. We whispered one night that it made sense the French Revolution attacked this King and Queen. They were raised inside these walls, grew to love life hidden away. They were distracted like we were. Of course the people were mad. 

But for now, we don’t need to worry. Instead we lift our skirts, kick off our shoes, and join in on the reverie. 

Welcome to A Summer at Versailles. An all tonals collection inspired by the palace estate and the Queen who made it infamous. Nurtured Reverie is a pale 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.
