The Circus Collection features ten beautiful colourways that are inspired by the Circus! On this page you'll find a photo of each colourway and my standard 'recipe' for it. I'll include notes on each colourway as to what can be customised to suit your needs. In general, all colourways can be spun in any weight, including lace, fingering/sock, DK, worsted, aran, chunky. Do get in contact if anything takes your fancy!
