A quick message from designer Anne Hanson: “I designed Highlander 13 years ago using Briar Rose Fibers Glory Days, which is now discontinued. the colorway is a hand-dyed selection from Briar Rose; if you check out her website, you may find something similar to use instead! (Cowl pictured on model is Rain on a Hot Tin Roof.)
