Matrika Storm Petrel

Storm Petrel is a dark charcoal grey, named for the small sea-faring bird that is thought by some to be a harbinger of coming storms. Pair with Fogbound and Storm Cloud for a gradient effect any of the Night Sky or She Sells Seashells gradient colors. Great stitch definition from nicely twisted plies and a sparkling sheen are what make this yarn so special. Soft, strong and beautiful this yarn is especially well suited for shawls, cowls, or scarves. Matrika project gallery on Ravelry.
