Featured Project: Earth Mother Pillow
I'm excited about sharing this featured project with you because it incorporates a couple of things we love. One is our extensive selection of hand-dyed and natural fibers, both domestic and exotic. The other is the art of weaving.

This is the beautiful Earth Mother pillow created by Kandice Rose, (aka Kandicimo). Inspired by this pillow on Ravelry, she decided to gather the necessary materials and tackle the project with her Schacht Cricket loom and without a pattern. She used our Corriedale in the Earth theme as the weft in the colorful fabric on the right side of the pillow. Taking the Earth theme and adding the fact that the pillow was made as a gift for her mother-in-law for Mother's Day, the project was named the Earth Mother Pillow.

Kandice purchased this fiber at Stitches West this year, but before the event she'd never heard of Anzula. It was another member of the group that directed her to our booth. She says, "I originally fell for a skein of Dreamy for another project, and I got so wrapped up in choosing just the right color to match another yarn (the ladies in the booth were so fun and helped me pick a color!) that I didn’t even look at the fiber. I came back to the booth later when I was looking specifically for fiber and the “Earth” caught my eye."
