Monet is one of my favorite colorways. Wouldn't it make a beautiful shawl or delightful socks? This is a Splashed and Speckled colorway that goes beautifully with many of my tonal yarns too, including Burgundy Rose, Annunciation Blue, Renaissance Blue, Lilac, Eggplant, and Contentment.
The amount and placement of each color will vary somewhat from batch to batch.
One of the photos shows a small sample I knit up using this colorway so you can get an idea of how it works up. I used Size 2 US needles.

YARN SWATCH
I included a couple photos of a hat I knit up using this this colorway on Wonderful Worsted. It should give you an idea of how the colorway will work up, but keep in mind that how it looks will vary a lot depending on the pattern, the yarn base, and even the individual skein.
