It is a full skein set of five different colors. The colors bring to life the two toned colors of the walking grounds, the red brick, the gold details, and the green on the roof. This set would be perfect for those multiple skein projects, think of all of those large wraps or even colorwork.\r\n\r\nYarn details:\r\n\r\n5 full skeins of the following base -\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorn Suitcase base:\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n75% Superwash Merino wool, 25% nylon\r\nFingering Weight\r\n462 yards \/ 100 grams\r\n7-8 stitches = 1\" on #1-3 needles\r\n21-32 sc = 4\" on B-E hooks\r\nMachine wash gentle \/ Tumble dry low\r\n\r\nThis fingering weight yarn is so versatile that it could be used for anything - socks, shawls, baby items, gloves, hats, scarves.

The earliest reference of Paul and Babe dates back to 1904, in the heyday of lumberjack camps. Stories of him were often told around the fires at the end of the day. The folklore stories became so loved that Paul and Babe were soon seen in various product advertisements across the country. He is best well known in Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and parts of the Dakotas; however, statues of him and Babe can be found all over the United States. The photo that inspired these colors is of the statues of Paul Bunyan and Babe at the Bemidji Visitor Center in downtown Bemidji, Minnesota.\r\n\r\nThis colorway set features a deep red skein streaked with black to resemble Paul's shirt and a brilliant turquoise blue with a few black streaks to resemble Babe. \u003cstrong\u003eThe two skeins are sold as a set\u003c\/strong\u003e, however you may choose to use the colors together in a project, or separately in different projects.
