Tulips are one of my favourite flowers, and I found these during the initial walk around Kingston Lacy that inspired the Advent calendar. They were part of a display just to the side of the house by the formal lawns that changes throughout the year.
The pinks and yellows are cheerful and happy, and while the Bluefaced Leicester yarn displays a more accurate portrayal of the colour of the tulips, I still think the darker and more vibrant colour that is shown on the BFL/Shetland/Alpaca blend depicts the same theme.
