Calling all those who signed up for the Baa Baa Brighouse Book Club - it's time for the big reveal!
Introducing 'A Tale of Two Cities', a 100g skein of hand dyed 100% British Bluefaced Leicester 4 ply high twist yarn. There are two skeins in each box.
Included in the box is a copy of the Penguin Clothbound Classic edition of the book and a tin of Victorian style tea.
Boxes are already on their way. Happy knitting!

One of the things I really like about #ATaleOfTwoCities is that #Dickens doesn’t pull any punches in describing how awful the aristocracy was to the poor, but he also doesn’t condone the Reign of Terror, either. That’s the sort of nuance that seems hard to accomplish. Read a book recentlyish which built on the #ScarletPimpernel, and it failed to call any condemnation down on the former rulers of France. Made me angry. (Not it’s only flaw, btw.)
