Citrus Twist, the new yarn from Yarn Stories
I'm feeling zesty here in Australia. :-) We're approaching winter so I need some SPRING in my life and what better than fruity handdyed yarn.
Last month I started the YARN STORIES series of hand dyed yarn. First up was the Circus Series and the colours were vibrant and fun! I've already seen some of the results from dear Customers. Thank you.
But the story this month is all about the
Citrus Twist .

You may not know but Yarn stories have a little more to them than just titles. Put all the colourway titles together and you might just get a tale. :-) )

| Citrus Twist - Can you see the oranges, lemons and limes in this yarn? Let me introduce the colourways..... |
 |
| 1. She ran naked through the citrus orchard - is a gorgeous mix of all the fruits |
 |
| 2. Delicious blood oranges in her hands -all the blush of a true blood orange with its deep orange, white and FLESHY peach colours |
 |
| 3. And lime juice sprinkling onto the earth below - ahhh, the greens in this need to be seen to be believed and oh the speckles!!!!!!! I'm a total speckle convert. Lovely little sprinkles of colour in yellow, lime green and dark mid green! |
The naked (undyed) yarn responds so wonderfully to dyeing and it's so, so soft and beautiful to wear!

I'm off to start some socks but which colourway will I choose?
