A lesson on colour accuracy...
Well, I'm a little disillusioned. This is the yarn I ordered from Knipicks - Elegance in the Wild Rose colourway (70% baby alpaca, 30% silk).
Now, that looks beautiful, but here we have the picture with the flash, which is mostly what it looks like:
This is a picture in the natural light - much different:
I *suppose* they did the best job they could photographing it. Looking at the natural light picture does look mostly similar to the photo they posted (which is what I prefer) but in the incandescent light, it's disconcertingly magenta. I'm going to use it anyway because I don't think I'll be able to find better, but it's just not what I expected. The wool itself is completely luxurious and strokable though. Plus, I will normally be wearing wristwarmers outside, won't I?

"Megenta" is being kind. It's bloody pink!
I know. :( If I didn't like the wool itself so much, I might consider finding something else.
I think it's very pretty....but that's not a good sign, because I like pink! Were you going for the same colour as Rose? Sal xx
Yes, I was trying...but I ended up getting a new yarn anyway! The new one is more purply, and actually more spot on to her colour. I am making too big a deal, I know, but I really liked the colour she wore!
