Melted Crayons



Two people told me the colors remind me of them of crayons. That wins. FYI, I know there are plenty of you viewing this blog. You can comment - it will make you less stalkerish ;)

I'm really happy with this yarn. It might be my favorite colorway to date! I'm in love with the baby blue and the green I created.

Here is how I got my colors:
Pink - fire red and aztec orange
Orange - Pumpkin orange and bright yellow (and maybe some ecru)
Green - Kelly Green and Turquoise
Blue - Turquoise, Sky Blue, and Ecru
Purple - Navy Blue and Crimison
Grey - black, red, green, and blue

I can't get a true black. Someone help me!

This was almost a disaster. I had it all saran wrapped when I realized I didn't spritz with vinegar. I don't know how I almost forgot. I seriously say over and over in my head "don't forget to spritz, don't forget to spritz..."

Do you love it? You can buy it here.

I'll de-stalkerize myself to tell you how pretty it is! And I love the name. I liked the Sunset suggestion someone had, but I think Melted Crayons is even better :-)
