Trees…as far as the eye can see!
From the Ozark Mountains to the Coastal Plains, almost 60% of Arkansas is considered forestland. With over 180 different types of trees (a mix of evergreen and deciduous) the color of the landscape changes seasonally from bright or deep greens to a kaleidoscope of vibrant oranges, yellows, and reds.

This design features subtle easy-to-knit texture in 3 shades of green reminiscent of a tree-covered landscape in spring or summer.
As an alternative, use shades of oranges, reds, or yellows for a fall landscape.

Colors and amounts used as shown:
A: Malabrigo Rios: Lettuce (50 g/ 100 yd./ 91 m)
B: Stunning String Studio Legacy Worsted: Rosemary (25 g/ 46 yd./ 42 m)
C: Dragonfly Fibers and Canon Hand Dyes Sylph Worsted: Into the Woods (25 g/ 46 yd./ 42 m)

These amounts DO include enough yarn for a tri-color pom-pom
