Straight Fade Skirt was inspired by the colourways in the Fibre Lily True Love yarn club (May to July 2017). Thus, this design is ideal to use any hand dyed yarns that go well together

Fiber Lily’s First yarn club inspired this design, as the colours worked well together. But any DK/8ply/#3 weight yarn will work with this pattern.

The Pink Skirt (Size Childs 6 - 8Yrs) was made using the following Yarn Club colours:
Butterfly Kisses on Harmony DK (100g/224m)
Cupid on Harmony DK (100g/224m)
Bonus Mini Skein in Hot pink on Harmony DK (50g/112m)

The purple skirt (Size Womens Small) was made using the following Colours
Fiber Lily Harmony Light Worsted x 2 100g/402m (100g/201m)
Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury x 150g/300m (200g/400m)
