Disappointing

The colours are far from that of a tiger having a dominant pink and grey mix and a very pale orange which was more peach. It might be ok for a child but certainly not the adult pattern suggested. I returned the unused balls 10 days ago and still waiting for the refund. I think its better to support your local wool shop and see what you are buying.
