Gatineau Fall With Heel and Toe – MCN Sock Yarn

Description

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
― L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

Gatineau Fall was inspired by the breathtaking beauty that Gatineau, Quebec holds, especially in Fall.  The colourful fall leaves falling from the crisp blue cloudy sky, meeting up with the still lake.  These rich colours of Fall will keep you knitting on and on!

Enjoy knitting this unique self-striping pattern of variegated rich sky blue, variegated warm bark brown and a “Falling for Ewe” variegated stripe filled with yellows, reds, greens, oranges and browns.

Turtlepurl Yarns Softshell Striped Turtle Toes sock yarn is a beautiful sock yarn to work with. This luxurious 3 ply sock yarn is durable, smooth and incredibly soft with the added warmth of cashmere.
