Day 11 is all about one of the Three Wise Men, Melchior, with the others being Caspar and Balthazar. I was bought up as a Christian, so I do know the story, but I have never been a practising Christian and, other than as a child, attending a wedding or attending a funeral, I have never been to church. I follow a Pagan path of belief and celebrate with the decorated tree and feasting, which have their roots firmly planted in Pagan origins pre-dating the 8th century, being adopted by Christians in Germany in the 16th Century. I don't think I need to write anything up as all the information can be found in the first photo and if you click on the photo you can zoom in if you need to.
The design on this packet, to my recollection of the story, it just a nice winter type design with a British bird.
I have undone the tightly wrapped little bundles and made them into braids to take any pressures off the fibres and also so that I can see the colours properly and feel the texture too. I like this one, it has a nice amount of texture, and I'm not shy of spinning texture. I might pair it with something white or I might see what else I have that could go with this one.
