MUSE ANN BOLEYN

This hand-dyed artisanal yarn is no ordinary knitting yarn: the designer behind the knitting patterns, Louise Robert Design, meticulously created this beautiful collection.

It's by studying the color palettes that represent her life and career over the years that designer Louise Robert was able to imagine the variety available in these hand-dyed artisanal yarns.

Ann Boleyn was the second wife to King Henry VIII of England. Her marriage to Henry VIII was the origins of the complex, and often tragic, political and religious change that was the English reform. Accused of adultery, incest and high treason, her husband, King Henry VIII, ordered her beheading.

"Seduce me. Write letters to me. And poems, I love poems. Ravish me with your words. Seduce me. "- Anne Boleyn, from The Love Letters of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn - Louise
