MONET'S CATHEDRAL Hand-Dyed Yarn on Stained Glass Fingering

This colorway was inspired by one of my favorite paintings by Monet: "The Portal of Rouen Cathedral in Morning Light." Here's a link to the painting. He spent 2 years painting the same cathedral at different times of day, and some have called it the ultimate series in Impressionism.

The colors include dark blue, medium blue, lilac, eggplant, and a bit of chartreuse with a generous amount of speckles.

I dyed this colorway on Stained Glass Fingering, which is a soft and squishy 2-ply yarn made of 100% superwash merino. The thing that makes Stained Glass Fingering uniquely wonderful is that one ply is made of white wool while the other alternates between black and white, so when I dye the yarn, it looks like leaded stained glass. Each 100 gram skein has 437 yards.
