Hand painted yarn 50g blue green purple yellow Monet colours
The base yarn for this is a skein of 40% wool, 15% alpaca and 45% acrylic. The yarn is soft and squishy. It is a chunky Aran weight (see photo against 1 inch measure for accurate gauge).
I hand painted it in soft shades of blue, purple and green with a flash of lemon and gold, all on a light turquoise base. It was inspired - as so often - by Monet's water paintings.
The last picture shows the same hank before it was reskeined, to give a better idea of the colour blocks.
Recommended needle size 6 to 6.5mm
This is 1 skein, 108 yards and 50grams.
