As the Rainbow challenge commences, I thought it would be the perfect time to share some of my favourite red yarns.
RED CHALLENGE runs from the 15th April to 12th May.
Catona - this is the yarn the is in the rainbow kit - 100% mercerised cotton. The are several shades of red in the range #115 - Hot red was chosen for the kit (pictured first below, and in the kit above) a personal favourite of mine is #192 Scarlet. (pictured second)
This yarn was used in the Advent crochet a long, as well in the Wildflower necklace and for Celeste's accessories. A popular choice here at Yarnish!
