[Nfb-krafters-korner] homespun yarn color descriptions

[Cathy]

Folks had been talking about this yarn, wondering what colors were
available. There are actually 60 different colors. I was going to list my
favorites, but there are just too many.  You can't feel the yarn, within my
email, <smile> but it is nubby, soft and 5-ply. Enjoy picturing the colors,
those of you who can. for those of you who have never seen colors, these
shades are wonderful! This yarn is great for scarves and shawls. Works well
on a KK loom.

PS, would some one please describe what a tweed is and what a heather is? 

I believe that the term "painterly colors" refers to the way in which the
colors fade into one another.
