Description
Campervan. A colourway inspired by the vintage VW campervans of my childhood. Pale aqua paintwork with dots of rust, mud and sand up the side, and windows with neon 'surfer and climber' decals. This yarn has a base of aqua/pale turquoise, with splashes and sprinkles of golden brown. There is a flash of neon in a gradient of deep aqua, purple, fuchsia pink, orange, yellow, and a bit of green - somewhere between a rainbow and an oil leak.

Sock/ 4ply/fingering weight yarn
This is a high twist 2ply yarn which will create a bouncy knitted fabric. It's ideal for socks but is suitable for all sorts of garments. Colours on this yarn base are so vibrant.

In the round 2.25mm - 37sts & 52 rows
Knitted Flat 2.5mm - 31sts & 47 row
These have been photographed indoors in my workshop. Colours may vary slightly under different lighting conditions. I have done my best to capture the colours as accurately as possible. Some colours are notoriously difficult to represent correctly on the screen - teals and blue/greens are the worst offenders with the results looking either blue or just green.
If the yarn is 'superwash' (or SW), it has been treated to prevent shrinking in the washing machine. Even though SW yarns can be put through the washer, I recommend gently hand washing or soaking your finished items in cool/lukewarm water with a mild wool wash - this will help keep your colours looking bright. Hot water may make the colours bleed or fade. To dry, gently wring out and lay flat.
