Advent Calendar 2024 Day 15 - Wenceslas

I only know of Good King Wenceslas from the song and I had no idea he was such a young man nor that he died at such a young age. We've had a fibre based on Good King Wenceslas before, back in 2022, but I presume that was based on his clothing as the colours are so rich whilst this one is based on the forest in which he walks with colours to represent the logs, the trees and the snow.  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 does feature some kind of plant with berries on, which might or might not be found in a forest location, and also the night sky. Its pretty.

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.  This one is very soft and I need to carefully consider what I might pair this with.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 22

I'm in love with today's fibre, its beautiful and called King Wenceslas and is a beautiful rich colour combination being made up of 75% Corriedale. 12.5% Red Eri Silk and 12.5 Tussah Silk.  Almost everyone in the chat group is going nuts over this one, we want more, we want more, we want more.😂

After Christmas, in the New Year, WoW made additional 100g braids of fibre of all of the Advent Calendar Fibres available to purchase to those who had purchased the Advent Calendar.  There were limited stocks of each one available, it was on a first-come-first served basis and there was a short time frame of priority before the remaining stock was made available to general purchase.  This was one of 7 fibres that I bought an extra 100g of.
