Best Buddies

 

Disney's Frozen is a beautifully told story of two sisters and their incredible journey.  After being estranged for most of their childhood, they come together again for Elsa's coronation, and though awkward and strained, they find they still have things in common...like chocolate!

We are doing things a little differently this year.  Each of our talented dyers have created 2 colorways, drawing inspiration from "Frozen's" best buddies: Anna and Elsa. All 4 colorways are dyed on 80/20 SW Merino/Silk, 4 oz/115 gm-434 yds/397 m of soft, lustrous lightweight luxury...fit for a queen (and a princess).  

Our first colorway pairing in this year's collection is from Beach Bunny Yarns in Ormond Beach, FL, and it is gorgeous!  From the artist:

"Beach Bunny Yarns loved the costumes for Elsa's coronation day.  We used this moment for our colorway inspirations.  Starting with Elsa, exuding dignity and self-control, we began with panels of deep teal and aqua accented with dark plum, just like the embroidery of royal patterns on her skirt.  Then touched with a bit of dark magenta drawn from the cape she wears.

"Conceal, Don't Feel" showcases Elsa's poise, combined with royal elegance with textural warmth fit for the Snow Queen herself! 

We look next to Anna  and her "corneration" day dress:   the layers of dark/light greens total compliments to her strawberry-blonde hair.  "Not THAT Princess"  features vibrant greens that hint at her spirited nature.  You can almost feel her open-hearted optimism and rustic charm. 

On coronation day, the sisters visually represent balance - Elsa's poised, cool elegance contrasted with Anna's lively, warm energy.  Standing side by side, the two halves of a whole: winter and spring; ice and sunlight; restraint and exuberance, both beautiful in their own way."  ~~ Ron and Alicia

 Pre-sales will open once the entire collection has been revealed, and, as in previous years, there will be a bonus for those who order the entire collection, but we'll cover that in another post.
