What's the theme?

A celebration of Christmas by the coast, inspired by Vanessa’s home in Oregon. With a background in marine biology and living on the coast Vanessa draws deep inspiration from the ocean. Vanessa's reality for Christmas is snowy beach walks, stormy windy weather, and knitting cosy indoors with tea

The yarn palette reflects the unique beauty of a coastal Christmas: rosy sunsets, salty air, stormy skies, lush greenery, and the soft glow of indoor light
