sky blue wool

[Shepherdess]

I want some nice deep sky blue wool from World of wool. The blue they call sky looks like baby blue on my computer. Has anyone ever had any or can suggest the right colour to get?

I answered on Facebook
"I've got two shades of blue from them a while ago. They were carded merino in batts. I'm not sure that it's the same colour palette still, but the lightest shade was VERY light, very pale blue."
What kind of wool you are after? Merino, BFL, Corridale?

I answered on Facebook two. I have their Dream and Sky. Sky is sky blue, dream is paler.

The 5th one in on this photo is their Sky blue:

it does have some milk protein over it, but I don't think it changes it much.

The nearest other colours kind of either side of it are slightly green, there's Spearmint, and Turquiose. Spearmint being a greeny version of the sky, it's the colour just before the end on the right in that photo. Turquoise is a bit brighter and with a greeny tint. )I don't have their turquoise at home, I got it for the well being centre and it's gorgeous.)

I have sky blue from WoW - I'd say it is Sky Blue - No. 44 I think.

Thanks Zed. I think that's more the colour I am after. it looks very close to cornflower. I have some of that maybe its sapphire I want. I may have to break down and buy a sample book. its $20 usd. they broke it down. the last time I looked it was over$100 but it had all sorts of stuff in it that I didn't want.

Their cornflower is similar to the Royal, maybe a slight lilac tinge to it. I don't think I've had sapphire.
