The inspiration for this colour came from a traditional Russian shawl. Over a dozen pigments were used in its creation to capture the faded, weathered look. In the course of your project, you'll discover a wide range of shades, from blacks, greys and browns, to deep embellishments softened by touches of purple and parma, to very pale yellows and greys. This yarn has a rich gradation of greens, blues, emeralds, khaki, lime, navy, ultramarine, turquoise and sky blue. It gives your work a richly coloured tweed look, for an extremely fine Haute Couture effect.
