August Carnival Themed yarn club - this is colour 3 which is a beautiful mix of violets.

Each year, the streets of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, on Spain’s Canary Islands, explode with colour, sound, and sequins during one of the world’s largest and most extravagant carnivals. Drawing over 250,000 attendees to its grand parade alone, this vibrant celebration rivals Rio de Janeiro’s for scale and spectacle. Held in February, Carnival here pays tribute to fun, freedom, and satire, echoing deep-rooted traditions that stretch back to the 18th century. The festivities span nearly a month, featuring dazzling costumes, rhythmic street parties, flamboyant drag galas, and elaborate floats. Most iconic is the Election of the Carnival Queen, where contestants wear jaw-droppingly ornate gowns weighing up to 100 kilograms. With its rich blend of Caribbean rhythm, Spanish flair, and surreal theatricality, Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival has earned UNESCO’s recognition as a masterpiece of intangible heritage. For visitors, it’s not just a party—it’s an unforgettable cultural phenomenon.

Produced in super soft, New Merino, this yarn is delightful to work with and produces a beautiful mottled soft multicoloured fabric.

Specification:

Yarn base is Mulesing Free certified super soft Australian Merino, ethically farmed and cruelty free. Small batch hand dyes may have some variety so if possible, we recommend working with two skeins at once, alternating yarn every row or two rows if you want to avoid colour pooling, particularly when shaping your garment. Always order enough yarn for your project from the same dyelot. If you need more than is available above, please get in touch and we can dye a unique batch for you of any quantity at no extra charge.
