Description

The listing, Heather Yarn has ended.

seven skeins of worsted weight acrylic yarn in a beautiful heather tweed with yellow accents.

I purchased this yarn to knit a sweater for my daughter and have included a picture of the sweater while it was still on the needles to show you what it looks like knitted up. It was a dream to work with.

I am also including the remainder of the last skein I used in the sweater so that you can knit a test swatch of your own without dipping into your skeins.

Pet free smoke free home. My yarn stash is in my bedroom walk-in closet.

I can't add a photo with my iPad app, because the darn thing is missing all categories and won't let me save without specifying a category even for an already listed auction. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures some other way I will add the pictures.

Questions & Comments

Exactly what colors are in the heather tweed? And what brand is the yarn? How many yards per skein? Sorry for so many questions, but have learned to ask or you end up with something you didn't think you bid on. LOL! :)

Sorry I tried to post pictures but the iPod app has a bug and won't let you edit because all of the categories are missing. Bummer!

This is a stunning dusty mauve heather with accents of yellow. It is worsted weight yarn but since there is no length on the package I cannot tell you how much you get per skein. That is why I purchased so much of it in order to finnish my daughter's sweater. My need to make sure I had enough is your gain.

I can tell you that I purchased 16 skeins to make a sweater that needed 1180 yds and I had seven and a bit left over. Some quick math will tell you that I used just under 10 skeins so there should be approximately 200 +\- per skein.

This appears to be brown...let me confirm, it is mauve?

It really is a more mauve/rose color than a brown. The pictures don't do it justice at. There are light flecks of red and green and an accent of yellow. It is a beautiful yarn.

I added a picture of the sweater I knitted for my daughters while it was still ob the needles. You still can't see the true color here, but it looks less dark brown in this picture.
