I Hate to Brag, But ….
These are now gone to their new home and should arrive this week, and i hope she likes them. I had to do some of the colors over, and it is virtually impossible to get solidly solid dark green…. But lookie what I did! As a whole, this has to be one of the more difficult dye jobs I’ve done, simply because there were multiple skeins AND each skein had to be as solid as I could get, AND match the other skeins of the same color.
Emily sent a sample of a tartan she is using for a project, and wanted to knit kilt hose or something similar to coordinate.
A serious challenge. Not saying i can do this for everyone, but if you have a simple fabric swatch and need “pretty close” colors for knitting, let’s talk! 🙂

that is amazing!! Love these colors.
wonderful! gives me an idea. you would not really need a
fabric swatch, just think of vibrant aurora borealis colors
in lace weight. could they merge into one another. . .
i’m thinking. . . . . i am also thinking of a large amount
of yarn to do one of MM’s shawls. so maybe quads of eight
skeins might do.
by the way, how could she not like these colors?
Brag away – you did good! As you said in an earlier post, you don’t have computerized color matching and the equipment to dye perfectly. The beauty of hand dyed yarn in my mind is the fact that it isn’t dyed a perfectly solid color and has variations. Makes it one of a kind and much more interesting to work with and look at!
