Vivid

I’m moved, excited, and lightened up by many forms: solid ones like stones and fine vibrations, like a felt sense. This creation was inspired by crystals.
The colors and vibration in the crystals touched my state of being, and I intended to translate that into the design. Nutidenyarn felt like a perfect choice, knowing the shared creative process by Caroline and being inspired by the colors and profoundness in making the Nutidenyarn.
I added a strand of mohair. It makes the knitting process easy if you are not used to unspun yarn and intensifies the beautiful fluff of the garment. Durability is endless.
With all the depth and beauty of Nutiden Yarn, adding my intention and vibration, I’m bringing a new form for all of you to enjoy and enrich by your own making.

With Love,
Dalia
