If you are interested I can list it here for you. Color - Pink Grapefruit I used two of the rovings I had listed here on etsy to create this lively color combination. One ply is shades or orange and yellow and the other pink and burgundy. I have included pictures of the rovings so you can see what this started as. I don't think the pictures do this one justice at all. The amazing array of colors is stunning. This will be a lovely addition to any yarn stash:) Approx 3.7 oz, 236 yards of Merino Wool. 2 Ply ranging from 10-13 WPI, medium weight yarn. A message about plying yarn. Plying the singles gives them balance. A single strand pulls in the direction it was spun. Spinning two of these spun singles in the opposite direction balances out the twist so it won't pull either way. Plying also increases the strength of the yarn and adds elasticity. Check your pattern recommendations to be sure if this yarn is suitable for your needs. Hand wash and lay flat to dry. Very suitable for felting. This yarn has been hand dyed especially for you with professional quality, non toxic, colorfast dyes by Collette Color varies from monitor to monitor.

Made from a high end luxury yarn blend of Suri Alpaca and Blue Faced Lescester Wool this is a must have! The boarder mimics the flowers in the shawl on a larger and much more bold scale. The boarder flowers start small near the edges and get larger and longer as they move in towards the center for a truly spectacular visual. I designed this shawl to fit the human body. It won't bunch behind the neck and on the shoulders as many shawls do. It has a wonderful light feel to it while still being substantial enough to cover you on a chilly evening. It lays flat without blocking and is just so wonderful feeling you won't want to take it off. I used Lazy Perry Ranch Custom Dyed Shawl Yarn in Suri Alpaca/BFL. This yarn feels wonderful and has a really nice drape to it. The shawl measures 30" from the center bottom to the center top and 49" from wing tip to wing tip.
