This colorway was inspired by one of my favorite paintings by Monet: The Portal of Rouen Cathedral in Morning Light. Here's a link to the painting. He spent two years painting the same cathedral at different times of day, and some have called it the ultimate series in Impressionism.
The colors include dark blue, medium blue, soft lilac, eggplant, and a bit of chartreuse with a generous amount of speckles.
YARN BASE
I dyed it on Sublime Sport--a luxurious non-superwash sport-weight yarn. It's a round three-ply yarn made of 65% super baby alpaca and 17.5 micron merino! Super baby alpaca is the term for the finest alpaca available, and the 17.5 micron merino is the softest I have found--much softer than the standard 21 micron merino. The alpaca makes the yarn extra warm and drapey while the merino provides memory.
This yarn base is excellent for shawls, sweaters, hats, and more. It's also great as warp and weft when weaving. Keep in mind that this is a non-superwash yarn base and should definitely be washed by hand. Like my other non-superwash yarn bases, the colors will be a little more muted on this base.
