Inspired by Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson
Chaotic greens, warning yellows, stormy blues, and sharp blacks collide in a colorway that refuses to behave. Forbidden Footnotes looks like censored texts, scribbled marginalia, and magic that leaks through the cracks, whether it is allowed to or not.
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.
