I've been having a great time these past few weeks searching for good 'pear colours'. It has made for some slightly weird conversations with purveyors of fine hand-painted wool and also people I bump into in places where wool is sold. I think I just start muttering something about 'good pear colours...sort of organic?' and this doesn't necessarily get across the criteria that make sense in my head.
From left to right: Lincraft Prism, Sean Sheep Armytage (marmalade) - oh Big W, why don't you sell this any more?, Paton's Jet, and Cleckheaton Vintage Twist.
I also recently made a little pod carrying on the theme of Mum's pitcher. I liked that name, Donna Lee!
Upside down it makes me think of a tomato.

What perfect, beautiful pears. I like them very, very much.
It looks like a tomato! The pear colored yarn is beautiful even if it's not for pears. It looks like fall to me and since we're facing fall and winter soon, it looks perfect. I am still slaving away on the knitting part of the felted bag I am attempting. Boring.

Love the pears very much - the marmalade one especially works well.
And the tomato is totally fab!!
The marmalade one is especially pear-ish.
