Just like that we are beginning week 5!
Azalea – or HOT PINK , this is the brightest pink yarn I have ever laid eyes on, it is brilliant!
So so so pink – brilliant hot pink!
Week 5, I’m assuming you have your yarn now, but if not……head over to one of these great suppliers
2 balls of each colour, and 6 balls of pure.
2 balls of each Yarn A (Indigo 6505) Yarn B (Misty 6707) Yarn C (Peacock 6404) Yarn D (Amber 6909) Yarn E (Azalea 6606) Yarn F (Quartz 6202)
6 balls Yarn G (Pure 6208)
Learning?
This week, we are back on circles, and using the FPtr that we learnt for Amber last week, but on a circle – to give a great wheel effect.
So a combination of Misty and Amber = Azalea!
