Crab Nebula was inspired by a beautiful photograph of the nebula from the Hubble Space Telescope.
The colors are so beautiful together--just the right blend of soft and bright. They include a little soft yellow, fuchsia, lavender, eggplant, several shades of blue, and bright chartreuse to add a little pop.
I dyed this yarn using my Splashed and Speckled method on Wonderful Worsted, which is a squishy and round 4-ply yarn made of 100% superwash merino. It's great for sweaters, shawls, hats, and more.
