Leanne - That is one of my favorite colors: celadon, celery, -- the name makes no difference. It's simply lovely.
Yes, it's lovely yarn. I can't remember off the top of my head what yarn producer makes it but I will hunt for that name. I need to sing their praises because not only is the colour lovely but the yarn is ideal for hats. It's actually 100% wool but not that scratchy stuff. And because it is wool it fits nice and snug on my head. I have one ball left and I'm going to make another just like the one in the picture.
Yarn producer name to come soon--I hope.
