This unique, hand knitted flower is a perfect addition to any brooch collection. Its design is inspired by the Romanian Martisor ( red and white yarn) also known as Martenitsa or Baba Marta, a traditional custom that celebrates the coming of spring, on March 1st,  in Romania, Moldova and Bulgaria.

It is a sign of the friendship, love, appreciation and respect. Giving this talisman to people is an old custom and it is believed that the wearer will be strong and healthy for the year to come.  Usually both, women and men wear it pinned to their clothes, close to the heart, until the last day of the March, when they tie it to a fruit-tree twig.

  

! THIS ITEM CAN ALSO BE WORN AS A HAIR PIN 😊.

Material: Handmade with red, white and  green yarn.
