Honor creativity, wisdom, and the spirit of craftsmanship with “Athena,” a hand-dyed DK merino wool yarn from Briar Patch Fibre Co. in Hendersonville, NC. Inspired by Athena — Goddess of Wisdom, Craft, and Strategic Battle — this colorway is designed to support makers who pour intention and artistry into every stitch.
In ancient legend, Athena and Poseidon competed to become the Patron Deity of a growing Greek city. Poseidon brought forth a magnificent seawater fountain, but Athena planted the first olive tree, offering nourishment and prosperity. The people chose her as their protector, naming their city Athens in her honor.
Working with this yarn is meant to evoke the same creative spirit. Each skein carries subtle hand-dyed variation, giving your project depth, beauty, and a touch of the goddess’s inspiration.
