J.M. Barrie

J.M. Barrie was a Scottish author and playwright best known for creating the iconic character Peter Pan. Born in Kirriemuir, Scotland, Barrie moved to London, where he became a successful writer. Barrie explored themes of childhood innocence, escapism, and the bittersweet nature of growing up.

"The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it."

This colorway is inspired by the iconic greens of Peter Pan.  From rich emeralds through dusty ivy.  Swirled against the deep, London Sky with hints of the blue of Wendy's dress, and the woods of Neverland. 

See below for base yarn options and details!

Pairs With:  Anything in the Literary Collection!  I especially like this with Lewis Carroll, Limerick, or Rhapsody.

PLEASE NOTE:  This colorway is DYED TO ORDER and will begin shipping November 8.

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.
