I found this new-ish Lion Brand yarn at Michael's not long ago -- wasn't sure I liked the feel of it much, being a bit rough, but frankly the dreariness of this colorway appealed to me in its subtlety, sort of greys with a bit of grey-blue here and there like a stormy sky, a bit of grey-green, a bit of grey-brown. I thought almost at once of the Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf, and found that they suited each other very well. I had to go around to a number of different stores looking for another ball when I realized that two was not enough -- the Pasadena store had two as well, so I finished the scarf with one and now have one left over.
I have not really captured the color to my satisfaction, even outdoors in natural light, but it does seem very elusive even to the eye, so I can't really blame the camera.
My first thought upon seeing the name of the colorway was this,
which I have to admit seems unlikely. Possibly this,
although upon reflection it is probably this,
