For knitting and felting.

The Lenten Rose is the name for the flower of the winter blooming Hellebore plant. It ranges in color from cream, to pale green, to deep burgundy. It is a subtle flower, keeping it's head down as it pushes up out of the earth in early Spring. For bags with an understated beauty, the Lenten Rose is perfect. As with all Noni flowers, Lenten Roses look lovely adorning the tops of gifts, fine boxes, pillows and other items that need a certain delicacy and sparkle.
