COLORWAY
This yarn was inspired by a really intriguing phrase from Homer's Odyssey. Apparently the ancient Greeks had no name or concept for the color blue. While pondering the idea for this colorway, a friend mentioned that on a recent trip to Greece, she noticed burgundy hues in the sea while aboard a sailboat.

YARN BASE
I dyed it on Dream Sock, which is an incredibly soft and luxurious yarn base made of 70% baby alpaca, 20% mulberry silk, and 10% cashmere. It is a 3-ply yarn with 437 yards per 3.5 ounce skein. This is a non-superwash yarn, so it definitely should be washed by hand in cool water so as not to felt. Also, it is a good option for those who are sensitive to sheep wool due to the lanolin content since none of the fibers have lanolin.
