Here are the yarn colors of Elann's Peruvian Highland sport wool DH chose for Whistler. The bottom right is the main color, Tapestry Blue, and the yoke will be done in natural and navy blue shown on the bottom left. I used black instead of navy blue in the Whistler hat so this color combo will be a bit softer. The back four colors are the contrast colors which will only be on the cuffs, bottom hem, top of sleeves, shoulder, and collar. The butterscotch color is much nicer in person than it looks on my monitor screen at the Elann site. The other contrast colors are a light blue, a light brown heather, and a dark green but they'll be used minimally - the main colors for this sweater will be the three shades of blue.

I'm changing the cuff and hem patterns to the ones used for a different pattern in the booklet, Lake Louise. The Lake Louise cuff patterns are maple leaves so they'll work with the main maple leaf Whistler design.

I've started another hat, this time the Le Massif hat from the same Dale Commemorative Collection booklet, to test out these colors. So far the dark green is NOT contrasting enough with the main tapestry blue so I will probably have to switch it out with either a dark red or another one of the brown heathers.

I'm really happy with this yarn for lighter weight Dale of Norway sweaters. It has a nice sheen to it and I am not noticing any pilling problems yet. I just wish they had more colors!
