Fairies of the Wayside - July - The Horned-Poppy Fairy

🌸 Welcome to the Flower Fairy Club 2026 🌸

Inspired by the timeless Flower Fairies illustrated by Cicely Mary Barker — images that shaped my childhood and quietly followed me into adulthood. Long afternoons playing fairies in the garden turned into a lifelong love of colour, detail, and small, magical worlds. This club lives right there.

Each month begins with colour.

I choose one Flower Fairy illustration — mostly from Fairies of the wayside this year — and build a palette directly from it. Every shade is intentional, drawn from the fairy’s world and translated into yarn and fibre.

July’s Fairy is - The Horned-Poppy Fairy

How the club works

Each month, I share a collage first. The yarn colours are pulled directly from that image — no randomness, no filler, just intentional palettes dyed into yarn.

You can join however suits you:

• Pay as you go — pick the months you love

• Subscription — small discount (rolling monthly, or 3/6/12 months)

Choose your club format:

1. Single Skein — 100g dyed to the month’s palette
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

Full Club
