Now that the packages have all been mailed, I wanted to share our final yarn club mailing with you. It was one of my favorite ones to put together because it was a darker fairytale….Maleficent.
She was always such a scary character to me as a child, then I saw the movie this summer and came away with such a different thought process of this Evil Mistress…..
I loved this movie!
We were so fortunate to have Romi Hill design this appropriately named pattern….Dark Wing
I love the lacey wing like look to this beautiful half circle shawl…a wing span.
Romi requested a black shade with touches of blue and teal which are the colors that come to mind when you think of Maleficent's magnificent cape. The yarn she chose was Airy which is a beautiful single ply merino that blocks out beautifully and perfect for a shawl.
The color is named Blackthorn.
I wanted the gift for this last project to be a special one to close out a magical year of Fairytales and was so happy when Kam Baker of Everyday Peacocks agreed to create this pin for us.
I loved it enough to snag one for myself.
Thank you Kam!
One of my favorite parts of putting a club mailing together is creating a special card that embraces the entire package. I spend a lot of time on this part of it and I think that this one has been my all time favorite of any that I have done over the yarn club years.
Thank you to all of you who joined along and I look forward to sharing another year visiting

This year’s club was really special, Kim. All the yarns and all of the designs were really, really wonderful. I am REALLY excited to knit Romi’s “finale” shawl with that gorgeous Blackthorn! (If I ever finish her mystery shawl . . . ) And the pin? What a treat! Thanks for another GREAT yarn club year, Kim. Loved it!
