"We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.” Jane Austen, "Mansfield Park," 1814

BETTER GUIDE HUES - Inspired by my love of Jane Austen and her books, this kit includes three shimmering, cozy, warm skeins in shades of coffee brown, paprika/cinnamon, and buttery almond cream. Use this kit to crochet the Fences shawl.

YARN: Allure Fingering - 100% Mulberry Silk.

This yarn base is more of a challenge to dye than others, so there will be differences from batch to batch and from the photos. Please only order if you’re okay with variations from the photos shown here. Some skeins may be slightly more saturated or tonal, or the colors may be slightly different than shown. We’ll do our best to match your skeins when shipping your order.

• Yardage: 218 yds / 200 m per skein (654 yds / 600 m per kit)

Note: Each skein is a hand-created, unique work of art and no two skeins will be identical, even within the same dye lot. If working with more than one skein in a project, it is best to alternate skeins every other row. Despite every effort to accurately depict our product colors, actual shades may vary due to differences in monitor settings.
