In real life the colors are orange, yellow, and warm gray (not blue--the camera seems to be picking up the blue tone in that lovely old brocade chair). The two front sides are the same length, in real life. That pink-and-blue thing that shows on the front is a skein band containing the manufacturer's care instructions for the blended-fiber yarn.

 

Size: Large woman's (5'6" to 6"--sleeves may stretch; 44")

 

Material: Wool/acrylic blend

 

Care: Washing as wool is recommended, but instructions for machine laundering are attached

 

Credits: "A box of yarn from a wool shop's going-out-of-business sale included this distinctive boucle yarn and, tucked in with it, a paper containing four Paris fashion patterns printed in French only. At the time I didn't have a dictionary of foreign knitting terms, but just puzzled it out by the numbers and the picture on the pattern. This jacket was designed just for this yarn."
