About this Colorway
Counting Sheep: This tranquil color combination brings to mind adorable sheep hopping over a fence, one at a time, in a peaceful landscape. It won't put you to sleep, but it will have a calming effect on your dreamy knitting.
This gradient is one of our Impressionist colorways - essentially 'speckled gradients'. This dye technique was inspired by Impressionist painters such as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Mary Cassatt.
Notes about Knitcircus Yarns
Because of our unique dyeing process, many of our darker colors appear heathered, with small light spots sprinkled throughout. This heathering is normal. Our yarns are colored using professional-grade acid dyes. We’ve made every effort to photograph the color accurately, but appearance may vary depending on your monitor settings.
