Cascade Yarns - Heritage Paints - Shrine 9762
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 teal, blue, moss and fuchsia. Each of those shades fades away to a background of wool white. An unusual eclectic mix of colors, that just like mother-nature, works well together.
