October Bookish Colorway: Princess and Big Guy

This listing is for the October installment of our 2026 Bookish Club! The book we chose this month is For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn, the criminally underrated first book in the Hell's Belle's series (book #2 comes out in 2027)! This book follows Lily, who is recently deceased and now has a job at the customer service desk in Hell, and a demon general named Bel, who learn to work together to save their world. This book was another of Ellen's picks for the club, it's hilarious and heartwrenching, and the art and map for this world are SO freaking good. We're both psyched for the next book to come out!

This colorway was inspired by the vivid imagery and the fiery reds of hell, along with the purpley grey tone of our MMC Bel's skin (he is a demon after all - we don't judge him for it)! Princess and Big Guy has a lot going on colorwise, stacking pinkey oranges and purples over lighter orangey base, giving a vibrant and highly variegated colorway that MAYYY make several gorgeous fades with the other bookish colorways... we cannot WAIT to show you the fades in all their glory because we've been screaming about them for weeks!

If you have a subscription, you should be all set! This listing is for individual skeins, NOT for the year-long subscription (so it will not auto-renew), and this colorway will be open through October 5th around 7pm EST! Your yarn will be dyed immediately, and shipped by September 15th.

Our 2026 Bookish Club as a whole will include twelve brand new variegated colorways inspired by some of our favorite (spicy 🌶️) reads! While some of the books we've chosen to showcase have quickly gained a lot of popularity in bookish communities, we also selected some of our favorite books that were self-published by indie authors. There is a lot of talent out there bringing a wide range of characters and stories to life, and we want to do our part to show support to indie authors, while maybe introducing you to a few. Please pay attention to trigger warnings for the books that inspired the colorways in this club, and check out the authors' websites for more specific info.

Note: Unlike our last club, this club will not be a fade. The colorways will coordinate to work as part of a cohesive collection, but we would rather put energy into creating colorways we love, inspired by books and authors we love, than limit ourselves to fade the colorways from month-to-month.
