Day 19 of the 2023 Advent

Inspired by the rose-streaked garden and card-carrying chaos of Alice in Wonderland, this colorway blooms with whimsy. Twisting together purples, reds, leafy greens, and earthy browns, it evokes the scene of hasty painting, misplanted roses, and a garden full of curious surprises. A Very Yarnusual Tea is for stitchers who like their knits a little mad, their crochets a bit curious, and their tea time full of color and chaos.

Please note that although I try to ensure that the colors shown in my product photos are as true to color as possible, colors may vary depending on your monitor or device. As you choose your bases, please remember that different fibers and yarn weights take dye differently; therefore, there may be some variation to the color shown if you purchase a different yarn base.

About Our Yarn Bases

All the bases offered by Jolly Holiday Yarns are sourced from reliable material suppliers where we can establish best practice in relation to animal care and the environment, as well as the best rearing and grading practices. No animals are injured to provide our fiber, as we only use shorn or material that has shed naturally from the animal.

The bases are sourced from Australia (the farms are certified Mulesing Free), South America, and South Africa. All our wool is sourced from farms that comply with high animal welfare standards. The fibers are sourced by my yarn supplier and are sent to Italy for spinning before heading to my little shop.
