Cochineal & Madder bit.ly/paYgsJ make a coral. A designer from MA visiting @UnSqGreenmarket bought most of it...5 or 6 skeins left.
I'm trying to get all the pieces in play this evening for selling yarn online from my soon-to-be-revamped web site: the blog where I talk about the color, Twitter where I announce the color, etc.
Tomorrow I'll post the color to the Yarn Store after I read myself to sleep considering the tribulations of poor Swann in love with Odette who likes the attention of other men and, why Proust was such a daring writer in 1913, other women too.
It's a singles worsted, 2 oz & 140 yd in length.
8/16/11, this color is now in the Yarn Store.

Looks like Nantucket red to me - a very nice color.

Yeah, it is a nice color. The other color my MA designer liked was a green of the same value, a light indigo over-dye of weld; they went nicely together. If I didn't call it "Institutional Green" what would I call it, there must be a better name for such a lovely color.
