This kit was introduced in the August 2019 Legacy Yarn Club. It includes 4 skeins of Cody, sport weight, yarn that is all dyed in the color "Storm", "Sage," "Thistle" and "Rose". The four skeins consist of natural white, 10% black wool, 25% black wool, and 45% black wool. Dying the skeins, that are progressively darker in natural color, all the same, color results in a beautiful gradient color scheme. Varian Brandon designed this beautiful colorwork cowl that showcases the gradient yarns beautifully! Designer Varian Brandon has been a design collaborator with Mountain Meadow Wool for many years. We met her at a TNNA (The National Needle Arts) tradeshow and she became a friend very quickly. Varian is very talented and meticulous in her design work. We love how she uses color in unexpected ways and the story she tells with many of her colorwork patterns. Varian makes her home in the beautiful Appalachia Mountains and this year we welcomed her to our Rocky Mountains for a great visit. Over the years she has created beautiful items for us and we continue to work on more. Encaustico is another of Varian's designs to check out.
