Yan Tan Tethera

Yan Tan Tethera :

It's meaning is ancient and simple.It is pre-roman english for : one-two-three.They would count the sheep, and put a notch in their stick to keep track of them.
Like the yarn and hats themselves,ancient yet modern.From a time that wasn't.An old method.A new twist.
One,two, three.Count the sheep.One two three.Count the stitches.
No pattern, each one unique .A bond between two species,spinning and dancing..one,two three.
