The Grandmother (wool bases) πŸ‘΅πŸ»

from $28.00
Sold Out

A playfully disturbed blend of expired film colors: sickly algal blue-green and haunting lilac, emerging from a murky gray backdrop. A smattering of monarch orange and crimson speckles pays homage to the kind of quaint bouquet a child might lovingly gather for their grandmother. πŸ’πŸŽžοΈ

The Grandmother (1970) is one of David Lynch’s first films; it’s a surreal, atmospheric, and mostly silent experimental 33 minute film that tells the story of a young boy trapped in an abusive, loveless home. Isolated and desperate for kindness, he plants a mysterious seed that grows into a living grandmother β€” a figure of warmth and protection in an otherwise brutal environment.

Using a mix of live-action and unsettling animation, Lynch crafts a nightmarish vision of childhood trauma, but within the darkness, he fosters a fragile sense of hope: the idea that even in the most desolate circumstances, something nurturing and good can still take root. πŸ₯Ή

I love this film for the way it surprises with moments of genuine warmth, buried within its eerie, expressionistic world. πŸ–€

Important Yarn Details ↓

β€’ All yarn is gently washed and rinsed. Each skein is lovingly hand-dyed, which makes them all unique. Please be mindful that upon first wash, a little dye may bleed, just like a good new pair of jeans! Even though many of these bases are superwash merino wool, I still recommend hand washing to prolong the life of your yarn/garments

β€’ I have done my best to accurately capture the colors of the skein, however, colors may vary slightly

β€’ Swatch shown is knit with my ✨new✨ Maddy Merino/Linen Fingering

90% Superwash Merino Wool, 10% Linen
400 yards
100 grams
(Machine wash cool & gentle, dry flat)
πŸ‘ A new in-between season favorite! The linen in this blend adds some natural strength and earthy luster while also helping resist piling. It also has a really nice, creepy-cobwebby look since the linen doesn’t really take on much dye. This yarn base has a great fluid, elegant drape that works well for lightweight sweaters, shawls, or other neutral weather knits.

100 grams
(Machine wash cool & gentle, dry flat)
πŸ‘ Bluefaced Leicester a special breed of English sheep with wool that is strong, resists pilling, and dyes beautifully. Drier and somewhat coarser feeling than superwash merino, with a more structured drape. Great for projects that could use some extra resilience and radiance.
