And by that I'm referring to the shade of gray on this merino thread weight. In natural light this yarn seems to radiate a warm aura, yet the color itself is a heather gray.
It's kind of mysterious. Such dynamism to me suggests metallic associations, where light plays an integral part in the appearance of the color. This looks like brushed silver to me.
This is a two ply thread weight 100% merino wool I'll be using for Reflect Echo Two. I finished up washing/drying this yesterday, and today I'll be splitting one of the skeins into four 25 gram yarn cakes. I can't wait to see how this knits up in a four thread multi-strand.
Your description of the color is so nice to read :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you think so. Color can be difficult to convey in a web medium, so I think it's important to explore it verbally.
ReplyDeleteA really nice, complex gray...I cannot wait to see it knit up as well.
ReplyDeleteI casted this on today. The color is starting to remind me of Roger Sterling's hair in Mad Men.
