A ball of yarn—whether in bold jewel tones or soft pastels—represents the potential within each skein: the sweaters, blankets, and creations a maker can fashion with needles and patience. Knitting needles trailing golden thread tell the story of needlework itself, a timeless craft passed through generations.
