Yarn from Down Under

Last week I ordered yarn from Bendigo Wool Mill in Australia. Today it arrived. It is simply beautiful. I ordered this yarn in anticipation of making a sweater for my husband. I had a pattern in mind but it called for Freestyle yarn. I swatched and it was a perfect match! I fiddled with the numbers and officially cast on a new sweater this evening. The color is "Magnolia" but to everyone else, it's a natural color. The pattern is Dale of Norway 6027 Aran. Here is a picture:



The yarn is very soft and I think it will define stitches extremely well. Dale usually names their sweaters. This is a beautiful sweater and I think it needs a different name instead of just "Aran". Suggestions anyone?
