COLORWAY The Great Black Bull was inspired by the cave painting found in Lascaux, France, in 1940. This is one of many cave paintings found there but probably the most stupendous and certainly the largest at more than 17 feet wide! The artists used the shape of the rocks themselves to make the bull look 3-dimensional. Archeologists estimate that it was made around 20,000 years ago.
This was my club colorway for January when I went as far back as possible in art history, and I've been waiting with excitement to be able to share it with you. The colors are black, deep blue verging on green, and several shades of brown. I dyed it in sections.
I know I tend to have more feminine colorways in my shop, but this one would be great for the guys as well.
YARN BASE I dyed this yarn on squoosh Worsted, which is a squishy and round 4-ply yarn made of extra-soft 100% superwash merino. It comes in big 4-ounce skeins, and it's great for sweaters, shawls, hats, and more.

YARN PAIRINGS This colorway would look great with Annunciation Blue.
YARN SWATCH I included a swatch I knit to give you an idea of how this can work up.

QUANTITY I show multiple skeins of yarn in my photos so you can see the small differences between each one, but each skein is sold separately.
