Koigu Collector Color -Azurite

The deep blue of the Azurite gemstone is often paired with the bright green of copper oxidization which creates the beautiful color palette we were inspired by to create this month’s collector color.

Azurite has been admired for its potent blue for centuries! It was the most prevalent blue pigment in European paintings and used in art by ancient Egyptians.

This month’s collector color, AZURITE is in KPPPM fingering weight 100% Merino on a dark indigo base with electric pops of shades of blue and green. Each skein is 50 grams with approx. 175 yards
