7 : Blue Willow Is there anything more timeless than blue and white? I wanted to feature a classic Willow Ware tea cup in this painting, but didn't actually own one. I started to trawl through the local op shops, and was delighted to discover a cache of these sturdy British cups and saucers within only an hour! The skein featured in this painting is gorgeously soft 2 ply laceweight hand-dyed wool, which is mostly a soft blue, with highlights in purple, blue-green, and greys. The Aero needle gauge is an old fashioned design which I also discovered in an op shop. The needles are, appropriately, Aero Knitting Pins.
