Odile is the daughter of the evil sorcerer Rothbart and typically wears jet black in productions of the ballet.

Her character has very quick movements and I think of her as a bit erratic, envious, and jealous.  

Rothbart spells Odile to look like Odette in order to trick Prince Siegfried which is why the same ballerina dances both parts.  The choreography also calls for Odile to do 32 fouetté turns, making it one of the most difficult roles to dance!

In this colorway I started with a gray and added black elements.  In some of the bases (bulky & chainette) you can see some other colors pulling through, little bits of green or orange which is so fitting for the character. 

Please note, true to Odile's character, this yarn feels a little less soft when working up.  I have worked up samples with it and after a soak it does regain softness (unlike Odile who in most versions of the story doesn't soften!)

****Dye to Order Option**** found here:  Dye to Order

I am including Dye to Order (DtO) options as well.  I am currently only able to do this as I have enough orders to make a bulk yarn order.  If you would like a set quantity of a certain base regardless of the wait, you can order it and I will keep you updated on how close I am to be able to get the yarn and dye timeline as best I can.  

You can also contact me at anytime through this site's option or Instagram if you would like to chat before making placing a dye to order.
