Aurinkokehra Yarn

Every now and then a really special yarn comes along, something that stands out from the rest. I found just such a yarn, Aurinkokehra, tucked away on a stall at Yarndale this year and I fell in love with the colour of a hank on the display, a subtle pink/deep lavender blend.

Aurinkokehra Yarn comes in a range of weights from chunky to double knit and 4ply. I used the 4ply not a weight I usually use,  but with the subtle blend of colours in a lightweight warm yarn, I knew it would be perfect for a delicate crochet scarf.

The yarn is produced from 100% Finish combed wool yarn and all the yarns are naturally dyed from ecologically and ethically produced dyes. The twenty colours as a result are extraordinarily bright yet subtle blends with some more contrasting colours. The blended colour hanks are irresistible!
Aurinkokehra Yarn produces 360m per 100gm hank and I used a 2mm hook to make the lacy shoulder scarf.

Aurinkokehra Yarn 4ply is perfect for crochet shawls and would make lovely light weight crochet jackets. The thicker weights would be ideal for crochet hats and chunkier scarves.
