It’s so lovely seeing so many of you choosing colour packs or your own colours, … More My Kaleidoscope story
Woooowww, you guys are all incredible. I’m so so thrilled that you’re loving the Kaleidoscope blanket so much! So many of you have signed up to the Facebook group, and you’ve run Deramores out of stock of the colour packs (they promise they’re working hard on restocking).
