She later went on to illustrate numerous works detailing her observations of the life cycles of caterpillars and other insects during a time when the leading knowledge was that insects could be derived from spontaneous generation recipes. Her research and illustration, at a time when women were generally dissuaded from such work, led us to our understanding of the metamorphosis process. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBase: Ursula (Yak Sock) 70% Superwash Merino Wool, 20% Yak; 10% Nylon; 437 yards \/ 100 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice listed is per one (1) skein of yarn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll indie-dyed yarn works up differently depending on gauge, project size, and needle\/hook size.
