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. The colorway is a very dark red with purple tones as well.

YARN BASE
I dyed it on my Twinkle Sock, which is made of 90% superwash merino and 10% sparkly lurex. It's a lovely base for shawls and cowls and hats.

I included photos of a hat I knit up using this colorway on a worsted-weight yarn base to give you an idea of how the colorway will work up.
