We have Walcot Opus Yarn for Helen's gorgeous new design, Vila Wrap. Opus is a super-soft merino and alpaca mix, and will make the squishiest wrap imaginable! Come pick up a few skeins at fairlightfibers.com. ... #Repost @curioushandmade (@get_repost) γ»γ»γ» Another shot of the Vila Wrap, Shawl # 3 in the Shawl Society Season II. Yarn is @walcotyarns Opus. Photography by @wallpa1 Here's a little more about the inspiration behind this design, from the description...β β "The Vila offer inspiration to anyone who has ever been afraid of being βtoo much.β They have shaken off the scrutiny of a judgemental world and live to please themselves. For all of us who have been told that we should tamp down our own spirit and creativity to fit some premade vision of reality, the Vila show us an alternative. Learning to honour our own desires is a lifelong process, but creation is a powerful antidote to the negative messages we get about who we should be. The individuality and agency of making something yourself is not a trivial or frivolous thing. There is an assertion in every stitch: this is who I am, and it deserves expression.
