More about this yarn:

Heirloom Color Works is crafted from fine Australian pure merino wool (and Australian pure merino is amongst the best in the world).  This is the same high quality grade of fibre used in Baby Wool, so you know it's perfect for sensitive skin.  Color Works now includes a range of Splash multi-colours fantastic for this project: Blue Splash and Pink Splash would both be great choices; but our little one's favourite is Yellow Orange Splash (it's got Minion Yellow in it, not Canary Yellow we've been told!).
