Travertine is a variegated skein filled with olive green, brownish reds, and cream colors. It has a heavy drapey feel to it. There are 260 yards of Sport weight yarn. The base is 60% Wensleydale, 15% Polwarth, and 25% Mulberry Silk. I think both the Wensleydale and silk give it that heavy feel which translate into a drapey fabric when worked up.
