August Owl Mail - Kestrel

$29.00


2024's monthly "club": Owl Mail. Each month will bring you a new color inspired by an owl (or something else that catches my eye). August is a Kestrel, once known as a sparrowhawk, but since they're neither sparrows nor hawks, it seems some scientist somewhere had a little sense.

This color is available either in a full skein size, or as a minis set of 5 complimentary minis, or as a set of both.

Kestrel is sort of a return to form for me, with deeply autumnal colors. Starting with a misty morning grey base, splashes of deep chestnut, foliage pumpkin, golden brown, and speckles of cranberry. 

The minis: one of the minis is the same as the full skein,

One is that misty grey with speckles,

one is pumpkin and golden brown with speckles, 

one is deep chestnut with speckles,

and one is a deep brick, with splashes of light pecan and speckles.
