In choosing colors for this bedspread, I imagined the colors in Tita’s world: red adobe clay; yucca and cacti in the desert; the earthy grains and flours in her kitchen. The pattern is simple, but the arrangement and colors of the squares are striking. The soft wool/alpaca drapes beautifully and is warm enough to comfort a weary or broken heart.

Uses 3 skeins for main colour and 2 skeins each for other colours.
