Peachy Keen on Fabulous and Semi-Fabulous
Peachy Keen is a multi tonal blend of deliciousness, sweet and smooth like a refreshing peach lemonade.
Hand dyed on Fabulous yarn with either gold or silver sparkle, or Semi-Fabulous without sparkle.
due to the dye process each batch is slightly different, even skeins from the same batch are different.
These yarns were hand dyed using professional acid dyes, heat set and rinsed well, however some residual dye may come out in the first washing.
For best results wash in cold water with like colors.
Lay flat to dry.
I try to get the color in the pictures as accurate as possible, however keep in mind different monitor settings may make the color look different.

Natural color, nude, in the buff…
The Emperor walked through the streets of his capital. All the people standing by cried out, “Oh! How beautiful are our Emperor’s new clothes!” No one would admit these much admired clothes could not be seen because, in doing so, he would have been saying he was either a simpleton or unfit for his job.
“But the Emperor has nothing at all on!” said a little child. What the child had said was whispered from one to another. “But he has nothing at all on!” at last cried out all the people. The Emperor was upset, for he knew that the people were right. However, he thought the procession must go on now! and the Emperor walked on in his underwear.
