Even though our May birthstone only launched last week, we’re already looking ahead!
June’s birthstone is Alexandrite, a beautifully rich gemstone that changes colour depending on the light. In daylight, it leans bluish green; under incandescent light, it shifts to a reddish purple.
When I saw photos of Alexandrite, my first thought was I’ve already made that colourway... it’s Wildflower Meadow!
There is a whole universe of possible colour combinations and striping pattterns, but somehow I kept coming back to Wildflower Meadow. In the end, I stopped fighting it and decided to create a sibling colourway - that same gentle, flowing gradient with a new twist on the colours.
I’ll have photos for you when the yarn launches next Wednesday!
