AMERICAN GOLDFINCH

From £20.18
BASE

Our friends in Iowa, New Jersey, Washington have the AMERICAN GOLDFINCH as their state bird.  The male is a handsome little guy with bright yellow feathers while his female counterpart has a light dusting of yellow beneath her beak.  Also known as the willow goldfinch and the eastern goldfinch, there are six different vocalizations ~ one sounds like "po-ta-to-chip".  They are granivores feeding mostly on seeds like sunflower, thistle, and elm.

Washing instructions:
To ensure your product does not 'bleed', please rinse your product in a basin of cool water and allow to dry before use. For best results, hand-knit items should be hand-washed in cool water and laid flat to dry.


Yarn dyeing is done in our warehouse and air-dried by God. We are a non-smoking home with two cats that roam around, so there may be an occasional cat hair in your yarn. 

Due to the nature of hand dyed yarns being unique, the skein you receive may vary slightly from the photo shown. If you have questions about the skein, please contact me and I will answer any questions you may have.
