The Perfect Filing System is part of the Poirot Yarn Collection!
Felicity Lemon is near and dear to my heart! She’s a Virgo queen with a penchant for order, red hair, cats, and an enviable 1930s wardrobe (goals all around!). Miss Lemon’s colorway is inspired by the gorgeous green dress she wears at the end of Peril at End House.
The Perfect Filing System is a slightly blue leaning medium kelly green tonal with flashes of chartreuse here and there. The greens of the 1930s are wonderful- this one would really shine in a vintage sweater pattern!
Republica Unicornia's BFL Sock base is 75% Superwash British Blue Faced Leicester Wool and 25% Nylon, 4-ply, 464 yards/100g.
Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) is a British sheep breed that produces the most glorious wool: it's soft but a little sheepier than merino, which means it is less prone to pilling. It has a beautiful luster, takes dye wonderfully, and has good stitch definition. (I love it so much.)
*****************************************************************************
Everything you see here is made with love and some swearing in fabulous Atlanta, Georgia. Yarn is ethically-sourced (museling-free) and dyed with professional, colorfast, lightfast acid dyes.
Due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn, I recommend that you alternate skeins in larger projects. There are often variations even within the same dyelot, so if you need a larger quantity than is available here (say, for a sweater), we've got the solution for that!
Some color bleeding is normal during the first couple of washes. I wash the bejebus out of my skeins, but some colors are just bleeders.
Your handmade items are magical delicate flowers and should be treated as such. Handwash in cool water with a delicate detergent (I recommend Sock Soap from Tuft Woolens) and lay flat to dry. Machine wash at your own risk (I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your project during machine washing. Those things are violent.)
Yarn is dyed in a pet-free studio.
I do my best to make sure items are true to color in the photos, but monitors/eyeballs/etc. differ. Blues and greens are especially hard to capture (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, ELECTRIC MRS. PEACOCK.)
If you have a problem with or a question about your purchase, please contact me directly. I'm a reasonable human being.
Thank you for supporting Republica Unicornia!
