Thank you

Natalie designed a yarn pack for the Tour de France, we could choose whether we wanted sock yarn, laceweight, fibre to spin etc, and it's testament to our trust in natalie that so many knitteres and spinners bought from her, sight unseen, colours unknown. All we knew was that there would be a neutral yarn in the pack and a contrast yarn, with a TdF theme.

The solid is turning into socks at the moment. This was an experiment really, I loved the monochrome colours and wanted to see what they would do.

There are four extra pattern repeats and ten border rows - and if Natalie decides to repeat the colourway I think I will be placing an advanced order, because I really do like what the colours have done.

Who would have thought an asphalt colourway would have so much colour?
