Silvereye - 3 skein set - 4 ply single/Osmanthus

This three-skein set in striking colours is inspired by the Silvereye. Silvereyes have olive-green upperparts and a greyish belly, with a slender build and a short, pointed bill. They are agile fliers and are often seen flitting through trees and shrubs in search of insects, fruit, and nectar. These birds are known for their sociable nature, often found in flocks, and their sweet, warbling song. Native to Australia, New Zealand, and several Pacific islands, silvereyes are adaptable and can thrive in a variety of habitats, including forests, gardens, and urban areas.

These few are left from our recent Call of the Wild bird club, so if you missed out on the original monthly release, you can capture this one now.
