Lá Bealtaine
Lá Bealtaine* (the Irish name for Beltane) was the May pattern for the Wooly Wonka Fibers Celtic Year club.
Beltane, the Gaelic May Day festival, was traditionally held halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. Lighting bonfires is part of the celebrations and was the inspiration for this colourway and the design.**
