Before You Buy

• The second photo shows a yellow sample ball and the third a sample project; your ball is the shade named in the title.
• Shades can vary slightly between dye lots, so buy all the balls for one project together.
• Bright Red 04, Red 07, Orange Red 13, Dark Red 20, Maroon 25, Brick Red 28, Red 37 and Dark Red 44 are separate shades; Red 07 and Red 37, and Dark Red 20 and Dark Red 44, share a name, so check the number before you order.
• Not the soft cotton yarn: that is a 100g ball of about 320m, while this is a 50g 4 ply milk cotton ball.
