Advent Day 22…. Arachne

Todays mini is inspired by the half woman and half spider, Arachne. Once a fae with incredible weaving skills, she was cursed due to her pride in living her remaining days as a half being. She hides in the underworld, weaving tales about those in Phantasmaland.

Of course, I had to take the warm tones in the inspiration image to create a mini rainbow to be as clurful as the tales she weaves. The deep greens run through to warm yellows and into burnt orange. A pale grey and light brown contrast the colourful end of this yarn.

Our penultimate 20g skein is a soft colourway that is a perfect lead on from day 21s bright greens. I can’t believe tomorrow is the last mini skein! And I do love tomorrow’s creature. I wonder if any of you will guess it before then?

The overall advent picture below is really filling up now. Scroll all the way down to see the yarn made into fabric and the skein wound up.

3 days left!! I hope you are all really startingto feel Christmassy and managing to have a bit of peace before it all gets a bit manic!
