CPH Yarn


Okay. I've gone and done it. I bought the yarn for a Central Park Hoodie today!
Isn't it pretty?
Six wound balls (the un-wound is an extra, a just to be sure I have enough) of Cascade 220 wool in a lovely butter yellow. They call it lemon, but it's a little more buttery (to me anyway).
I wanted something different. I was originally thinking of using a dark red or something, but I saw this and went way out of my color comfort zone. I'm ususally gravitating towards the purples, blues, teals range. I think it's going to be a great color change for me!

Oh my goodness... yellow is my favorite color, and that just looks heavenly. Can't wait to see your CPH as it progresses.... it will be beautiful for sure!

Good for you out of the zone! I am excited for you and will be watching your progress > I plan oto make this next month. I read somewhere that it runs small so will be going up a size.

I'm excited to see your progress. I want to make a sweater this year but need to start and finish my wedding shawl first. I love the color you picked.
