Ponyo! This colorway encompasses so many of the bold, bright primaries and corals in this film. I took particular inspiration for this from Ponyo's mother.

Ghibli has this way of making the most inviting and cozy looking academia scenes. This is A Warm Study and it is based on all the wonderful scenes in The Wind Rises where Jiro is working at the drafting tables.

We can't do Ghibli without Haku. Spirited Away is an amazingly crafted piece of art and definitely a favorite. I chose our Fine Polwarth base for this one for some maximum softness and puff. The handle is excellent! 🥹

Arrietty's Room and her precious red dress. This colorway is both retro and earthy and I love it a whole heap. It didn't look great in the dye pans, but it blossomed while drying. 🥹

Soot Sprites Kit! This is on our Corriedale fiber and comes with 2oz of the dark Soot fiber and 1oz each of the star candy colors. I think this would make the most adorable striped projects like socks or mitts.

The Anomaly is really hard to capture in photos. Sandwiched inside the wool layers is tons of bursting color from farm wools and silk. Not sure if I totally captured the wild rune itself, but these will be loads of fun to spin up!
