Yarn

Yarn foretold success in your work and an industrious companion at home—the patient winding of a life into something whole. For a young woman, to work it was to be proudly claimed by a worthy man. Sometimes the dream asks what you've been steadily spinning together, and who labours alongside you in it.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
