Cascade Yarns - Heritage Paints - Coals 9761

These gently dyed hanks are hand-dyed by women in Peru. This sock weight yarn is durable enough for socks, and absolutely gorgeous for shawls and cowls. Heritage Yarn is durable for washing, so will make great garments for infants through adults.

This yarn has been painted with shades of charcoal brown, orange and red. Each color fades into the wool white background. A beautiful, thought provoking colorway.
