"I may have lost my heart, but not my self control."
Emma Woodhouse has long been a favorite of Jane Austen's characters because of her energy, spirit, and vivacity. One of the things I love about Emma is that she isn't consumed by finding a man; in fact, she's quite happy to remain a wealthy spinster. But she also isn't a man hating modern character: she meets falling in love like a grand adventure, and enjoys the fun of matchmaking and getting matched herself. Emma is full of good intentions, but she always seems to think she knows best what her friends need, and learns, to her chagrin, that she's often mistaken about that. In the end, she is a loving and bighearted friend, who is definitely the better for her longstanding friendship with Mr. Knightley, who calls her to be her best self and treat others with respect and compassion. This color speaks to Emma's extraverted personality with pops of golden yellow, deep pinks, mauve, and flashes of aqua. With brown speckles, this skein mixes bright colors with a sophisticated, smoky glaze.
I use professional quality acid dyes to ensure vivid colors that will last. No two skeins are identical: if you need more than one skein for your project, be sure to alternate rows to ensure variegation. Please note that each skein is a unique work of art and may not exactly match the photos, but will be very close. I may reskein your yarn before shipping to avoid tangles if necessary.
