Making new colorways means taking time to get to know them. How do they look in the pot vs washing and hanging to dry. And then how will they knit (or crochet) up?

Also working these on a new base. I love a thick single ply.

Happy WIP Wednesday!

Working on a shawl, there are mistakes. I leave them so I can see my progress over time, but mostly I hate frogging 😂

Pattern by All Knit Up Designs

Sock yarn dyed by me, Waiting for Aurora and a new colorway I’m testing out.

Into the Woods! A lovely colorway to take for a stroll. Very photogenic too!

Just washed and dried this lovely Gotland sheep fleece. Can’t wait to dye it and spin it up. It’s so soft!

This is my first year spinning for your de fleece. I just finished this skein from a braid I hand dyed

I got a drum carder and have started making batts for spinning. This one carded beautifully, we’ll see how it spins!

It was sunny. I went to the beach. It was amazing to see a little bit of spring

I’ve been tasked with an exciting project - to match a chilkat yellow and turquoise for a local weaver’s upcoming robe!

I’ll be dyeing a gradient in each color, to test the range each dye can produce before we settle on the best match.

Learning a new hobby to keep from doomscrolling. I do not need a new hobby 😂 but it’s working!

I have had a hard time getting motivated enough to dye yarn the past couple weeks. Today I finally made it.

I’m dyeing up a calibration test for a class.

Thanks for posting all your yarn content. Very inspiring!

This colorway is Winter Sky. While it might not match the exact colors of the sky on most days, it is a moody vibe.

Dyed on 100% Superwash Merino, 4ply,
100g worsted weight

This beautiful pic features éits’k’ harbor seal, one of my favorite colorways. The tan dye turns orange when it hits a certain temperature in the pot and I love it so much

When I’m worried, I spin yarn. That way my worries spin right out of me

Posting more hand dyed yarn in case I just lost my day job with this federal grant freeze 😬

Nees’- Sea Urchin, is another popular colorway. Pictured is a worsted weight.

I’m a yarn dyer so I talk about dyeing a lot. People look at me funny sometimes. Anyway, I’m going to go dye now.

Is there a #dyesky ? #knitsky #fibersky #artsky #friendsky

I dye wool, spin it into yarn. I’ve been loving this color combo.

Doesn’t the roving look delicious?

This is by far my most popular colorway. The colors of the Aurora on a skein of yarn. ✨🧶

I’m doing a detailed study of applying acid dyes to yarn. The top row is saturation and hue, the middle row is color matching (although the printer doesn’t match as well as digital) and the last row is primaries in CMYK at varying ratios of dye

Do you like yarn?
I like yarn.
I dyed this yarn.
