Frostbitten
In the Nord where I live, the fall comes early, and the frost bites and lays all the flowers to winter rest. The frostbitten flora is beautiful in its own way, and I have been found, several times to admiring and photographing this beauty.
The fluffiness of this yarn creates a realistic looking frost on the able flowers.
