November Bookish Colorway: She was color

This listing is for the October installment of our 2026 Bookish Club! The book we chose this month is Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, the first book in a soon-to-be-completed five book series! This book is hilariously reminiscent of one of our favorite series of the year, Blood of Hercules, with an incredible grumpy sunshine dynamic that we just adore. If you're into a slow burn romance, this series is for you!

This colorway was inspired primarily by the woodsy setting, with a gorgeous gothic castle in the forest, and a dash of inspo from the FMC's light blue eyes, which are the villain's "downfall" (😭). It layers different shades of greeny greys over a lighter base, giving a high contrast colorway that leans even more green on our non-superwash base, and slightly bluey green on the superwash bases.

For November, we had a bit of a hiccup. Our original book choice was not appropriate for the club, as its origins were tied to a certain well-known series written by a notoriously transphobic author, who we will not be naming here because they do not deserve the attention. Once we realized our mistake (and the extent of the harm our original pick still causes), we decided to redo our November Bookish Club pick. This new pick should still be able to ship by the original shipping deadline, Nov 15th, so it won't be delayed :) we are proud supporters and members of the LGBTQ+ community, and we do not accept transphobia and refuse to support a transphobic agenda by tying our work to that of a known transphobe. Thank you all for your patience as we worked to correct our mistake and pick a new book for the November installment of the club!

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 November 5th around 7pm EST! Your yarn will be dyed immediately, and shipped by November 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.
