Scottish Mini Skeins

 


These lovely mini skeins arrived the other day from Scotland.  Hand dyed by Caz of @theweesewnsew.  I have been watching her videos on YouTube for quite awhile now.  She was showing her Rabbie Burns Collection of yarn colours and describing the inspiration and colour name of each.  Just had to order some, reminded me of my parents and childhood.  The colours are, from left to right:  Tall Dark & Handsome (first footing, the first person in your front door at the new year should be a tad, dark and handsome male bringing gifts), Auld Lang Syne (Robert Burns' New Year song), Dario Cream, Red Red Rose (another Robert Burns poem), and The Bells (ringing in the New Year, the bells ringing at midnight).  I don't have a plan for these lovely colours yet.
