Let me take you on a trip around the world. All you need is a comfortable armchair to sit in, some time, knitting needles and a skein of wonderful Colour Adventures yarn.
We have already visited to Poland and Ireland but this time I’m taking you to beautiful Italy. A country of delicious wine and fantastic food, a country of gorgeous and fearsome Vesuvius. So take your needles in your hands and get ready to set off on a wonderful one-skein journey!
Avventura is an Italian word for adventure.
