The Texas state bird is the Northern Mockingbird. They’re easily distinguished by their adult gray and white stripes and long tails (juveniles are brown) and they’re excellent mimics of other bird calls. It’s lovely to hear them sing in the trees on evening walks. They’re also quite resilient! I’ve seen mockingbirds dive bomb cats, chase off hawks, and relentlessly attack a rat snake big enough to swallow them whole. Texas Tough, as the saying goes.
This generous sweater quantity set of 5 colourways was designed to produce a fade from the soft grays and browns of the Mockingbird through the pale blue sky and deep tealy blue eggs they produce. Running through all the skeins are deep brown-black speckles.
5 × 100g skeins in Fine SW, high twist, low pill Merino wool, 400m (437yds)
for a total of 500g, 2000m (2185yds)
Also available as a set of mini skeins
5 × 20g skeins for a total of 100g
