Hydra - September's Mythic Beast

The Hydra is a serpentine monster with poisonous breath and blood so toxic even its scent could kill. Near impossible to kill due to its regenerative abilities: whenever its head gets cut off, two regrow in its place. Defeating the Hydra was the second of Heracles' famous 12 Labors. Heracles enslisted his nephew's, Iolaus, assistance for the feat. Each Hydra head he cut off, Iolaus would cauterize the wound to prevent the heads from growing back. Heracles took one of the heads home as a trophy. He would dip arrowtips in the Hydra blood to create the most volatile poison tips that would later assist him with his future labors.

Wet block when finished working. Some color bleeding may happen on first wash. 

The yarn is dyed in the same pot, but that by no means promises they will each take the dye the same. If you are making a large project, please feel free to reach out and I can work with you to ensure the yarn you get is from the same dyelot, or dye them special for you. I want to ensure your product turns out as beautifully as you imagine it!

Studio is not pet-free, cats and dogs are present. I try my best to avoid their contact with product, but alas. They are powerful beings.

Handwash with wash of your choice, lay flat to dry.
