Hand painted yarn 100g. angora laceweight soft mid blue violet lime Monet colours
<br />
<br />The base yarn for this is a skein of 80% angora, 20% acrylic. The acrylic strengthens the yarn (you do not want breaks in lace knitting) and reduces the risk of pilling, but at 80% angora the yarn remains soft, though it is not the same as pure angora.
<br />I hand painted this one with touches of violet and lime green on a pale to mid blue base. The last picture gives an idea of the subtle colour blocks, before the yarn was re-skeined. This yarn is more blue and less grey than it appears in this picture, however.
<br />
<br />This is 1 fat skein, weighing 100 grams and 600 yards
