5 small skeins of handspun yarn, each made from a different plant fiber. from top, we have flax (medium brown, rough); what is probably lotus (golden, shiny and soft); banana (white and semi shiny); hemp (light brown, rough); tencel (white and very shiny)

3 skeins of handspun yarn, 1 large and 2 small. One of the small skeins is a little more inconsistent weight than the other two - this one was spun on drop spindle about 2 years ago. The other two are about a sport or maybe a DK weight. All three are a gold colorway with tiny hints of orange and a pale light green.

3 skeins of handspun yarn, 2 large and 1 small. the large ones are a rich earth-tone blend of reds, pinks, browns, and hints of green and gold. the smaller skein is similar but with a decidedly greener hue

front and back of our solstice card from this year, designed in postcard format. long alt incoming... front - 4 picture collage. 1 - i'm standing in the woods, looking to one side, wearing an elaborate knit scarf. 2 - silhouetted thistle-like flowers in front of a pink-purple sky. 3 - my wife brooke crouches down to draw a heart in charcoal on a beach log, with 'L + B' written inside. 4 - brooke stands on a driftwood-covered beach looking hella cool in mirrored shades. our dog kes stands in front of her and looks off to one side eagerly. overlaid is the words 'happy solstice' in cursive. back - split down the center like the back of a postcard. on the left side, a 5 picture collage. 1 - i stand on a rock at the edge of a calm alpine lake. overlaid is the words 'lee, brooke, kestrel, & the flock' in print lettering. 2 - an early spring fern curl. 3 - our six ducks, all facing to the left, not in a row but still very organized. 4 - brooke grins at the camera while hugging kestrel's head. kestrel looks maybe a bit distraught. 5 - silhouette of a heron in flight across an early morning blue sky. on the address side, i've added a dahlia to represent the stamp, and written 'you!' in the field that would normally hold the mailing address.

happy solstice 2025
