Cana Ruca - Fly Away to the Tropics (#06)
This is a bright, fun yarn! The main colours are a medium blue, very well matched with Atlantic in this range, and a straw yellow. There are also small sections of a rich gold and a slight lime-yellow and the colours progress.
Cana Ruca, 'sugar cane' in Spanish, is a soft, glossy yarn made from viscose derived from sugar cane. It reminds me of stranded embroidery cotton, with its lustre and six strands.
Each skein is hand painted. If using this in projects that need more than one skein it's recommended to alternate skeins every 2 to 4 rows. This yarn is also slightly splitty, so a hook or needles with nice rounded tips is recommended.
