Audio Slideshow Norah Gaughan vol.3, art house
Part 2 of Margery and Norah's discussion of
norah gaughan, volume 3

Today we will focus on the second chapter of norah gaughan volume 3 - ART HOUSE, featuring eight designs inspired by modern art, sculpture in particular. We photographed amid a wonderful private art collection. The forms and colors in the surrounding works of art and furnishings seemed to be reflected in Norah's designs.

For her medium, Norah chose a splendid palette of fine fibers that allowed her to continue to invent and further refine her unique stitch vocabulary. Inca Gold™, Palace®™, Pure® Merino DK, Pure® Merino Heather and Pure® Merino Nuance are our affordable luxury basics included in the volume.

Berroco Inca® GoldBerroco Inca® Gold is luxurious blend of merino wool and silk at an honest price. The multi-plied and refined twist creates a classic yarn of quality that will withstand the test of time. It's available in 14 colors.

Palace®Palace® is a luxurious, 50/50 blend of merino wool and silk that speaks softly of the elite pleasures of knitting the finest fibers. Available in 12 colors.

Pure Merino DKPure Merino DK is a new member of our Pure® Merino family of yarns with 19 of our most popular colors.You might also enjoy our companion palettes in Pure® Merino, Pure®Merino Heather and Pure®Merino Nuance.

You can observe Norah's unique sense of design as she describes in detail all that went into creating the "Art House" story. Listen carefully and you will find the answer to today's "Pop Quiz".
