Crocuses in Snow was inspired by the idea of the first flowers of spring poking their lovely purple and pink heads out through the snow, announcing the very beginning of spring and all the hope that comes with it. This is an assigned pooling colorway with dark purple at one end and white with speckles for the rest of the skein.
I used my Sparkly Merino Sock base, which is made of 92% superwash merino and 8% sparkly lurex. It's a lovely base for shawls and cowls and hats.
