Finished the box for the season, so have been playing.
I have a soft spot for iron blue imitations and when i was messing around with some of Andrews Scruffy Dubbing in a colour called Highland Peat i thought it would make a perfect Iron Blue.
Its a very hard colour to photograph accurately as it contains so many colours, but hopefully this stimulates some create juices.
