WHISPERS OF NOSTALGIA - Our 2025 "Create Your Own Yarn" contest winner! This calming color drifts like a tender memory, its speckled hues of dusty rose, vintage pink, and pale mulberry echoing the gentle bloom of milkweed kissed by summer light. Each strand evokes the quiet grace of bees and butterflies in flight and the promise of monarchs yet to come, weaving nature’s gift into timeless beauty.

Amy W. submitted this stunning color inspiration and said, "My inspiration for my submission to the contest was my blooming milkweed plant. I just love all of the dusty pinks!  Interestingly, I didn't even plant this in my garden! A bird must have dropped the seed and it's grown into this beautiful plant and we have gotten to enjoy it and all the bees that have visited. We're looking forward to watching the monarchs too!"
