Poppy Charity bundle

£5.00

2025 marks the eightieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War, which will be marked with many commemorations. I have put together this bundle in the colours of the poppy, a symbol of remembrance, and am donating £1.50 from the sale of each bundle to the Royal British Legion.

The colours used are ‘Black by Day’ and ‘Red by Night’ - a nod to our neighbours in the Black Country.

Our non superwash yarn is spun in Yorkshire from British fleece and hand dyed in small batches in Birmingham. Whilst colour consistency between batches is good, due to the dyeing process no two skeins will be identical and there may be slight colour variations between batches. It is therefore recommended that you buy enough yarn from the same batch to complete your projects and that you alternate skeins every other row.

Once you have completed your garment, it is recommended that you handwash your finished item in lukewarm water with your wool wash of choice and lay your washed garment flat to dry. Although the yarn is thoroughly rinsed after dyeing, some slight colour bleed may occur at first wash.

I photograph my yarn in natural daylight, however colour variations can occur between monitors.
