Notes

These are test roses. I have tried three different yarns.

Debbie Bliss is the Dark Purple (first Picture), bright magenta is Rowan Silk Twist (second picture),
and muted purple is Rowan Revive (third picture).
The fourth picture Revive (left), Twist (centre) and Debbie (right).

I cannot decide between them. The Revive has a great structure, but the Debbie Bliss has a lovely colour.
