I love the way these colors mix. This colorway has long runs of blue and orange separated by brief spurts of purple. I’m not usually a huge fan of the blue/orange combination, but I think this time it came out perfect!

My original inspiration for this colorway was the wildfires that have been raging all around the world. Some of my friends in California and Australia have been affected, and there was recently a big fire in South Carolina that hit pretty close to home. My undergraduate education was in Forest Management, and we spent a decent chunk of time on fire management and control. Seeing flames jump into the canopy of a forest and flare up against the sky is both beautiful and terrifying. I don’t think this yarn is going to be terrifying (at least I hope not!), so we’ll see if we can stick to beautiful.

The 4 skeins I posted are dyed on 100% Merino Wool and washed in Kookaburra Wool Wash with tea tree oil. They smell and feel lovely!
