Heather and Woad was named for the woad-blue of the band and the heather-y type color of both of these alpaca-based yarns.
Knitting: Cowl
Light and lacy infinity scarf. I use a provisional cast on and the kitchner stitch to create a seamless scarf. Uluru provides a wonderful set of multi-color yarns for every mood.
