This yellow colored sample was the first fleece I picked up to spin. I noticed the tag on the sample was labeled Aurora.
I was curious about the yellow color and wondered about it while I was spinning. Was it yellow because it was yolk, or canary stain? I couldn't remember the difference... I decided to google it.
Imagine my surprise when the first result to appear was from Leigh about her experience with Aurora!!! Sometimes the internet is such a fun place!

My sample of Aurora was sitting on the table, and caught the sunlight ...
...eponymic perhaps??

Seems like a pretty neat color to me. Sunny yellow seems so springlike.
What a beautifulbuttery color. I could take a bite out of it.
Beautiful color...almost the same as your dandelion dye without all the effort!
Isn't this fun? And I have a new Shetland fleece to share with you and Leigh - it's a lamb fleece and I'll send samples just as soon as it dries. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to send unwashed samples - too thrilled to get it washed to think. You know how that is! :-)
Lovely! It looks as though yours is yellower than mine. I love the photos.
The photos are great! Looks so soft!
Beautiful! I can't believe that a "fault" could turn out so lovely...like buttercups and sunshine.
Isn't that pretty! You've certainly been keeping busy, as usual.
Cyndy, our dog Luna, who is 'white' has shades of yellow on her too. I can really see it when she is standing in snow. It must be something in the fur.
Gosh no you didn't bore me. I love learning about fibers etc. I love textiles etc. I am very touchy feely kinda girl.
It's Peeps-colored! :-)
It took my breath away! Gorgeous!
I've never heard of canary stain before, but I think I have some fleece that may fall into that category.
Breathtaking photos! The yellow yarn capturing the sun makes my spirit soar.
Love the color. Such a pretty yellow.
