The Year of a Showgirl - July - Actually Romantic

Poppets, it’s a new year — and this year we’ll be exploring the legend that is Taylor Swift’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl.

With only one official music video, this club becomes my version of the album — what I see, feel, and imagine when the music plays.

July - Actually Romantic

Inspired by Actually Romantic, this colourway is about realising you were never chasing the story — you were the story all along.

It’s that moment when everything clicks into place. The comments, the obsession, the constant comparisons. You stop taking it personally and start seeing it for what it is.

There’s humour in it. A dry, knowing kind of humour. The sort that comes from being completely unbothered while someone else keeps writing you into their narrative.

It isn’t about getting even. It isn’t about proving anyone wrong.

Sometimes the loudest opinions come from the people paying the closest attention.

And honestly?

That’s actually kind of romantic.

How the Club works

Each month, I’ll share a collage inspired by that month’s song. The yarn colours are pulled directly from this image — translating feeling into fibre.

You can join in the way that suits you:

• Pay as you go — choose the months that speak to you

• Subscription — 1/3/6/12 months avaliable

Club Options

Choose your Taylor-inspired treat:

1. Single Skein — 100g dyed to reflect the month’s theme
2. Sock Set — 100g skein with a coordinating 20g mini
3. Mini Set — 5 × 20g minis, a mix of semi-solids and speckles inspired by the collage
4. Fibre Braid — 100g hand-dyed fibre braid to match the main skein

Full Club

For the full experience, you’ll receive:

• Your chosen yarn

• A postcard featuring the song/album artwork with details about the track

• A themed sticker

• A friendship bracelet inspired by the song

Yarn-only options include just the yarn.

A year of music, colour, and feeling — one song at a time.

Soft, romantic, and made to be held.
