William Wordsworth, one of the leading figures of the Romantic era, found profound inspiration in the natural beauty surrounding Dove Cottage, his home in England's Lake District. Wordsworth's poetry celebrated the connection between humanity and the natural world.

"Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.""

This rich colorway is heavily inspired by the idyllic gardens of Dove Cottage and the English Landscape that surrounds it. Dusty roses, with undertones of peach swirl together with ivy greens. Hints of foliage covered stone.

Pairs With: Anything in the Literary Collection! I especially like this with Sylvia Plath or J.M. Barrie! Or End Zone and Sonnet are perfect tonal options.

For all of our hand dyed yarns we recommend that they are either washed by hand or machine washed cold, gentle cycle. Use only gentle wool wash and always lay flat to dry.

Variations between dyelots and from skein to skein are expected. It is best practice when working with hand dyed yarn to alternate skeins as you work.
