Cherry Blossom is on a Merino Silk Blend. A truly fabulous yarn with an amazing drape and sheen. This is a variegated yarn with varying tones of peach and speckles. Lovely stitch definition due to the single ply construction.
This yarn is dyed with an assigned pooliing technique so it would be suitable for lots of these specific projects like those designed by Dawn Barker or the Romantasy shawl in the final picture. Two skeins of this yarn would be required for this pattern.
