It’s Okay to Be a Unicorn-Neon Nep-Banned Book Colorway

Inspired by It’s Okay to Be a Unicorn by Jason Tharp, this Banned Book colorway celebrates self-expression, visibility, and the courage it takes to show up as your authentic self — even when you stand out.

Bright, playful, and unapologetically joyful, this colorway leans into saturated rainbow tones and high-energy contrast. In a world that often rewards blending in, It’s Okay to Be a Unicorn is a reminder that difference is not something to hide — it’s something to honor.

This Banned Book colorway features Neon Donegal Neps, creating a confetti-like effect throughout the yarn. The neps glow under UV light and add texture, movement, and visual interest to every stitch.

Please Note

All yarn is hand-dyed; color placement and nep distribution will vary between skeins.
For larger projects, alternating skeins is recommended for the most even results.

Because each skein is carefully dyed and thoughtfully curated by hand, please allow 4–6 weeks for turnaround, especially during peak seasons. Orders are created with intention and care—thank you for supporting slow, meaningful fiber.
