When i started the 4 colour square and flowers i did wonder how long it would be before my usual 10+10 would come into the equation...not long about 24hours.
I just couldn't resist the pull of all the soft pastel Crofter yarns from Sirdar that i had a few sample balls of. This yarn has a long enough space dye length to make the Amelia, Belinda and Camille flowers and mixed with some Batik Alize from my local shop a perfect combination for a soft muted colourful wrap.
mix of the Amelia and Belinda Flowers for this wrap
So along side the Camille below in just 4 colours
i am making a rainbow of soft muted Amelia/Belinda mix flowers into a wrap for me. I'm using lots of Crofter dk, and Batik Design Alize. With the odd bit of this and that thrown in
