A Hero's Journey: The Moana Collection
Once upon a time, in the heart of the Pacific, a tale of adventure and discovery was born. Inspired by my cherished memories of Hawaii and the legendary story of Moana, this collection captures the spirit of exploration and the magic of the islands. My love affair with Hawaii began during a family trip in middle school, where the breathtaking sights of humpback whales from the beach and snorkeling with sea turtles left an indelible mark on my heart. Returning last year with family and friends reignited that passion, making me vow to visit every few years to relive those enchanting moments.
Wayfinder
As Moana charted her course across the ocean, her people stood behind her, their legacy woven into every step. This plying pair embodies that spirit, featuring rich browns and subtle reds that echo the earthy tones of their homeland. It's a fiber for spinning tales of courage and discovery, perfect for creating handspun yarn that tells a story of its own.
It Calls Me
The ocean's call is undeniable, a siren song that beckons adventurers to its depths. This set captures that allure with one braid of oceanic greens and another of sea blues. Spinning this fiber will transport you to the waves, each twist and turn of the yarn echoing the rhythm of the sea.
Boat Snack
Every hero needs a companion, and Hei Hei's vibrant presence is impossible to ignore. This playful plying pair combines deep greens and blues with the fiery reds and oranges of the quirky rooster. It's a celebration of color and character, perfect for crafting handspun yarn that bursts with life and adventure.
Murdering Little Pirates
In the world of Moana, the Kakamora stand out with their mischievous antics. These battlings, textured and 100% wool, bring their rugged spirit to life. With natural whites, greys, and browns accented by warm and cool dyed colors, this fiber is ideal for spinning projects that embrace a sense of adventure and whimsy.
Realm of Monsters
Beyond the known world lies the Realm of Monsters, a place of vibrant dangers and dazzling wonders. This plying pair captures that essence, with one braid featuring bright rainbow colors and another sparkling with deep purples. It's a fiber for spinning yarn that dares to explore the magical and the unknown.
Ta Ka and Te Fiti
At the heart of Moana's journey lies the tale of Ta Ka and Te Fiti, a story of destruction and creation, darkness and light. Ta Ka's batt is a fiery gradient of red, orange, and black, symbolizing the burning rage of the volcanic force. Te Fiti's batt, in contrast, is a serene gradient of greens with pink and purple accents, representing life, rebirth, and the nurturing earth. Together, they form a balanced narrative, perfect for a spinning journey that celebrates the harmony of opposites.
The Moana Collection invites you to spin your own hero's journey, transforming fibers into tales of the Pacific's magic and the spirit of adventure. Each braid, each batt, is a step in your quest, a piece of the story waiting to be told.
