Broody Hen is named after a plump little diva I met at a chicken rescue during a summer farm stay. She spent her days strutting around with her dark-feathered rooster husband, laying eggs like it was her full-time job. Bold, busy, and a little bit bossy—just like the yarn she inspired. When ordering, you can choose which yarn base you’d like from the dropdown menu.
