Physalis is the name of a plant species which includes the edible Cape Gooseberry. The colours of this yarn were inspired by the colours of that plant/fruit and I'd have very much liked to decorate the pictures with the matching fruits, but I am a bit embarrassed to say I've already eaten them all *blush* Anyway, the yarn can speak for itself, the colours are spectacular.

This magnificent art yarn comes as a gift set with a brown bag of embroidered taffeta and a set of 4 stitch markers.
The bag measures 18 x 19 cm and is closed with a glossy cream-coloured cord the ends of which are decorated with a maple leaf pendant of tibetan silver and a carnelian bead pendant. The stitch markers are made of silver plated wire, light green seed beads and naturally banded carnelian. They will fit needles up to 5.5 mm (US size 9). All of these items have been handmade by myself.

The yarn has been spun from my own hand carded fibre blend which consists of hand dyed wool/silk blend of bright orange and intense green, light green tussah silk/merino blend, and merino wool of vibrant orange and red. I've also added some golden angelina (glittering fibre) which sparkles in the light, but is hard to catch with a camera.

148 m (162 yards)
79 g (2,79 oz)
~ 9-11 wpi

Like all our yarns, this one has been spun in a smoke free home.

PLEASE NOTE: it was very hard to get good pictures, there's just not enough light these days. I think the second picture shows the colours best of all.
