gives you a better idea how the colors evened out... WHEW! The yarn is from http://www.kpmcornerstone.com/kpmff/html/yarn_for_sale.html and is yarn #3, Border Leicester, Shetland, and llama, according to the label. A very nice, yarn against the skin, and you can see that it liked being knit into this! There is a gold metallic carry-along thread in there too, doesn't show in this picture, though.
