"There is one thing, Emma, which a man can always do if he chooses, and that is his duty; not by manoeuvring and finessing, but by vigour and resolution."
Mr. Knightley is a shining example of upright, strong, honorable masculinity, a man of character and conviction. While Emma is opinionated and tends to meddle in other people's lives (always with the best intentions), Mr. Knightley perfectly balances her energy with good sense, a compassionate heart, and a strong sense of duty. I love that he's not afraid to hold Emma accountable and call her on her unkind or unwise choices, but he reminds her of who she can be, the best version of herself, and calls her to rise to the occasion. Even though he's a wealthy gentleman of property, he is the antithesis of a snob, seeing the wisdom and good in everybody, no matter their station in life, and not feeling compelled to play politics or flatter those in social positions of prominence. This stately color beautifully captures his serene energy, his wise and conservative elegance. Soft beige and rich chocolate brown are broken by pops of vibrant cerulean speckles that give a bright energy to this otherwise quiet neutral.
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.
