🌙✨🦇 Samhain 🦇✨🌙
The penultimate colour in our ‘Wheel of the Year’ collection and it’s another all new colourway in a mix of dusty purples and grey tones.
The colour purple is associated with all things magical, mystical and of the spirit world so fitting for Samhain, when traditionally the veil between the worlds was believed to be at its thinest and fairy folk, spirits and ancestors could pass through.
Seasonally Samhain also marks the beginning of winter, the final harvests were completed and a feast of fruits and nuts would have been gathered for the festive fare. A traditional Barmbrack, was made (which if you aren’t familiar is a fruit loaf which is sooo good toasted with butter!). Often tokens where baked inside it as a way of predicting the finders future like a ring for a marriage and a coin for prosperity and then the not so good twigs & rags for disputes and bad luck! I personally remember my granny’s baking apple tarts at this time of year and if you were lucky you might find a coin wrapped up in tinfoil in your slice. I could chat about Halloween/Samhain traditions all day, what are your favourites? Let me know below….✨🎃🖤
Samhain joins the rest of our Wheel of the Year collection online now on Merino Smooth Sock, Gold Sparkle Sock and Brushed Suri 4Ply.
