In the summer of 2018 there were some amazing thunderstorms that rolled through northern Minnesota. The clouds took on rich deep colors and crazy formations. Often there was lightning that filled the sky, especially during the storms that happened at night. At the same time, I was going through my own 'storm' of life. Deep brooding moods, difficult choices, rolling thunder of arguments. Many would have turned and walked away, away from the storm. Somewhere, somehow, I could see a glimmer of light beyond the towering clouds; I chose to embrace the storm and move forward towards that faint glimmer. It certainly wasn't easy, but I did find sunlight and warmth on the other side. This particular storm in this photo had lasted for a few hours. I was able to race out to an empty dirt road and catch the storm as it moved on. I had a vision in my head of this storm and dirt road, that symbolized everything that was happening in my life, and the vision worked out. The storm still had a show to put on for my photo.

It was later sold to the ninth Duke of Manchester in 1902. The castle was once more transformed when the Benedictine nuns took over the castle in 1920.\r\n\r\nThis photo tried to become a colorway several times, without success, until I decided that mini skeins were the way to go.  A lovely combination of  a darker gray, a gray with a purple undertone, and three shades of green recreated this photo perfectly!\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMini Worn Suitcase Fingering\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n75% Superwash Merino Wool,\r\n25% nylon\r\nFingering weight\r\nFive mini skeins with 92 yards each color\r\nTotal approx yardage: 460 yards\r\nMachine wash cold \/ Lay flat to dry\r\n(Hand wash is recommended)\r\n\r\nPlease note that color variations may occur from skein to skein as a result of hand dyeing.

The earliest reference of Paul and Babe dates back to 1904, in the heyday of lumberjack camps. Stories of him were often told around the fires at the end of the day. The folklore stories became so loved that Paul and Babe were soon seen in various product advertisements across the country. He is best well known in Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and parts of the Dakotas; however, statues of him and Babe can be found all over the United States. The photo that inspired these colors is of the statues of Paul Bunyan and Babe at the Bemidji Visitor Center in downtown Bemidji, Minnesota.\r\n\r\nThis colorway set features a deep red skein streaked with black to resemble Paul's shirt and a brilliant turquoise blue with a few black streaks to resemble Babe. \u003cstrong\u003eThe two skeins are sold as a set\u003c\/strong\u003e, however you may choose to use the colors together in a project, or separately in different projects.
