October Carnival Themed yarn club - this is colour 1 which is a beautiful mix of turquoise
Every winter, the city of Cologne (Köln) in western Germany bursts into riotous colour and sound with the Kölner Fastelovend—one of Europe’s largest and most beloved carnivals. Often referred to as the “fifth season”, the festivities officially begin on November 11 at 11:11 a.m., but reach their peak during the six days leading up to Ash Wednesday, attracting over a million revellers. Rooted in medieval tradition, Fastelovend is a celebration of joy, satire, and social freedom before Lent begins. What makes it truly iconic are the costumed parades, particularly Rosenmontag (Rose Monday), featuring elaborate floats that poke fun at politics and pop culture. Locals greet each other with a hearty "Kölle Alaaf!" while throwing sweets into the crowd. With its infectious energy, humorous spirit, and deep cultural ties, Köln’s carnival isn’t just a party—it’s a heartfelt declaration of the city’s soul and its passion for life.
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.
EU GPSR warning:
Not suitable for babies or toddlers. Potential strangulation hazard.
