HerStory Yarn & Book Club

Every month, HerStory (brainchild of Knitted Wit) will showcase a different woman author and will release a yarn inspired by a seminal work of theirs. It's a wonderful way to pay homage to the women of literature who inspire us, all while doing what we love: knitting and reading!
