“Autumn Border”

“The late summer flower border starts to change as the season cools down. A bevy of Chrysthanthemums start to reveal their wonderfully primary colour pallete. The earthy colours really stand out against the blue sky.”

Specially designed and prepared ten (10) hank bundle of Australian Merino wool. 8 ply wool in 100 gram hanks with a total yield of 1000 grams (1 kilogram – 2.2 pounds). Lovely soft Australian Merino wool. There is a combined length of approximately 1730 metres in this one of a kind bundle. Careful colour selection and placement in this batch with colour bleed permitted to create even more tonal values that I had to capture. The orange colours present in the photography are more rust in reality. Individual monitors will vary in this regard.

TECHNICAL STUFF:
8 Ply Australian Merino wool – 22 stitches over a 10cm swatch using 4.00mm needles. Yield: 400m per 100g hank; total of 1730m in this batch.

DESIGN STUFF:
Alternate hanks every few rows to even out any colour variations as this is one of a kind hand dyed wool. Whilst I have dyed this as a batch, there will be colour variations in each hank. A lovely wool to knit, crochet or weave which will give a great variety of colour flecks throughout your project due to the placement of colour in the hand dyeing process.

MAKING TIME:
Two full days to dye each lot. Hand washed in rainwater and conditioned dyeing process. Three days to fully dry.
