Janice’s Gloam Project

Janice has been creating magic with the DK weight Romney, pairing it perfectly with the Gloam pattern by Caitlin Hunter. She says, “Really enjoying Shelterwood Romney. Love that it is locally grown and milled. Also has a beautiful lustre and while not next to skin soft (which I wouldn’t expect) still has a lovely feel and perfect for outerwear. The colour is dark and beautiful – perfect for Gloam.”

For those wondering, ‘gloam’ refers to twilight or the darker part of twilight, evoking a poetic sense of gloom or shade.
