‘Poems’ To Emily Dickinson’s Home

A sweater knit of Poems by Universal Yarn in the “Peacock” colorway – part of a yarn review – draws comments wherever we go. Inspired by that beauty (good yarn can inspire and lead a knitter to interesting places), we took to the road to visit the home of Emily Dickinson, one of the world’s greatest poets. Amherst Massachusetts is an appropriate site for poems – and collections kept by the college include copious materials by and about Robert Frost.
