Hilltop Cloud's Arabian Nights batts are these gorgeous, textural buns of silk noil and firestar carded with manx loaghtan wool. As with everything Katie does, these are so beautiful and feel really really special. It should definitely be spun with much enthusiasm and enjoyment!
I feel a tiny bit guilty (not really! LOL) about looking over the Hilltop Cloud shop and making a personal purchase before featuring her today. I bought her British Breed Sampler (yum!) because I'm in a bit of a rut and need smaller, interesting things to spin.

ReplyDeleteI have to have the Arabian Nights collection. I lived in Turkey for two years and miss it immensely. These colors remind of the vibrant colors of the spice markets, the colors of ancient mosaics, some found in the middle of a farmer's field, and of the gorgeous sunsets starting with reds, pinks and oranges, and ending with shades of blue, dark and alluring with the shimmer of stars.
ReplyDeleteLove the 'Linett' roving and the 'Idoya' batts and everything really!
