This yarn's color is a clean new terracotta shade. Considered orange by some, this has a tinge of red to it, making it more of a rustic orange. The color is nicely saturated, so it is not dull or dusty. Image shows yarn as a bit too dull. Actual color is more orange and a bit more intense. Quite lovely if you are into fall shades like me! The yarn's blend of alpaca, wool and silk takes the dye differently. The silk takes the dye less intensely, so there is a lovely heather appearance. This yarn is a single ply works up with a lot of loft and texture. My sample swatch was wonderful to work with.
