To view the color selections please go to Vivian’s web site – www.viv.dk/collectionUS/BumblebeeJ.htm
I do keep a few kits in stock, but willing to order in the kit and color you would like. Depending on the time of year it takes about 2 weeks for me to get a kit in.
Each kit contains enough Harrisville Shetland Style – 100% pure wool (50% is merino) yarn to complete the largest size. I hope to be able to list the colors used in the colorways so you have more of an idea of the colors, in addition to looking at pictures on Vivian’s web site.
