Gorgeous watercolor-like colors

I was so super excited to see these beautiful skeins of Tidal Pool (the swatch photo is the most color-correct of them all) because the colors look so pretty together. I was planning on making a plain cardigan, but the colors are close enough in value that a fun stitch pattern may be in order!

Happy colors!

This mega-skein is going to be perfect for a matching winter set. I LOVE being able to get the yarn in a giant skein, it's so much more convenient!

Recycling and yarn fibers

This yarn looks lovely and I love the sparkle thread that runs through the yarn. It feels silk like and cotton like at the same time and the thickness varies.

Soft with Soarkle

Knits up beautifully. Soft like it’s been worn 100 times. Beautiful tonal variance ranging from a wheat colour to vibrant sunshine yellow. Beautiful understated thread of sparkle. Any more and it would have been overdone. Perfect proportions of colour, flash and decadence. Very nice work!
