Merino Crew (2005)

Pattern: Nothing, really -- a generic crew knit in the round
Yarn: Shaeffer's handpainted merino

This was my first modern foray into variegated (handpainted) yarn. I like the way it has the travelling stripes across the body, though it breaks up in the neck shaping.

The yarn colours are very vibrant -- they are what attracted me inexorably to the hanks of yarn in the shop!

	In the sunshine, you get a better sense of the colours and vibrancy of the yarn, as well as the many different colours in play. Truly, like a painted canvas.
	Here is a full skein in the sunlight. You can see why it was impossible to resist!
