Summer on the Great Lakes

I wanted to capture the way the light reflects through the water - all of those different tones and hues mixing. Blue but also gray with hints of pinks and yellows and oranges peeking out.

The key to getting this to work was in lots of layers of color. First the skeins are dyed a mix of sunset colors. Summery peaches and blush. From there I build up layers of blues capturing the reflecting light over the water.

I absolutely love how it came together!

Pairs With:  Anything in our Great Lakes Collection!  I designed this in conjunction with Sailor's Delight and the two are just stunning together.  Or pair with Azalea for a solid option.

For all of our hand dyed yarns we recommend that they are either washed by hand or machine washed cold, gentle cycle. Use only gentle wool wash and always lay flat to dry.

Variations between dyelots and from skein to skein are expected. It is best practice when working with hand dyed yarn to alternate skeins as you work.
