14. Herbology (Harry Potter Art Yarn Advent Calendar)


Three times a week they went out to the greenhouses behind the castle to study Herbology, with a dumpy little witch called Professor Sprout, where they learned how to take care of all the strange plants and fungi, and found out what they were used for.
 
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J. K. Rowling



Description: The colours refer to the various plants and funghi in the greenhouses, of course. I wanted to present a variety, not only green plants, and I also wanted the yarn to be more interesting, so I added bits of rust red and yellow. I also spun in pieces of commercially produced leaf ribbon, and green glass beads.
Fibre Types: merino wool, mulberry silk, linen, bamboo
Colours: greens, dark brown, rust red, yellow
Add-Ins: green thread, pieces of leaf ribbon, green glass beads
