Shades of Grey

Shades of Grey
Debbie Bliss's new yarn range 'Glen' is a blend of 30% fine alpaca, 30% merino wool and 40% acrylic. This chunky weight yarn in shades of grey from light to dark is very soft to the touch. The texture is light and lofty with a slight twist and has an appearance similar to hand spun. I'm using shades #02 and #01 with the later being the darker grey. The recommended needles size is 6.5mm (US10.5). I'm using size 9mm ( US 13) in the picture for a more open texture. This yarn comes in 50g balls and is 90 m in length. More pictures when the knitting is completed...
