About Rey of Sunshine, which was created by Bryce in honor of a lost friend:
“I met Rey in 2018, soon after she came out. Her absolute determination to be true to herself made others look inward and see themselves clearly. Even living in the middle of Pennsylvania, she was unapologetically Queer and refused to be looked down on. I didn’t know at the time, but she taught me a lot about what it means to be human and to love. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t thank her for the love and courage she gave me.
Deep Green is for the trees you lay under and a reminder to listen to the breeze. Sunflower Yellow and bright Blazing Orange for the sunshine and warmth you gave everyone you met.
Thank you for choosing Rey of Sunshine. With this yarn, her memory and love continues. We met again in a dream a few days ago, we hugged so tight it felt so real. I told her I loved her so much. May we meet next time.”
