In the Fellview Fibres Ravelry group ( https://www.ravelry.com/groups/fellview-fibres-friends ) we were discussing different ideas for new colourways. We had a little competition, and the inspiration photographs of the old Buoy was picked. As the metal was old and corroded, I decided to use corridale as the base for this colourway. This is to give a little more texture to the yarn. I then added rust and chocolate broen tussah silk to the blend as indications of the corrosion.
The blue/green shade of the rolags was extremely difficult to capture. On my screen the colours are true, but your screen may display differently. The colour could be described as Cerulean or intense duck egg blue - which ever label you wish to add, the colour of the rolags is well matched to the colours in the inspiration photographs.
The corriedale fibres will felt. If you do not wish them to, hand wash in cool water.
