Happy Saturday!
I had a great dye session last night, and I am impressed with some of the new combinations this week.
A friend asked me to replicate the red and gold Twinset I did last week, and I really did try (#317-318), but I’m not sure it turned out as glorious as previously. But I did try.
I also tried a new-to-me dye color, called Crocodile Green (#321-322). It’s not much different from my Knitivity Green #1, sort of a grass green. I did it as a solid so I could see what it looks like in full saturation all by itself.
There are several two-tone Twinsets this week. Twinset #311-312 is a 50/50 two-tone of palest gray and palest yellow; #319-320 is two-tone of bold yellow and bold pink; #331-332 is a two-tone of salmon and blue with a third color with the two dyes overlapped. Twinset #327-328 is a two-tone of a darker blue-gray and purple, with a small span of salmon in between the blue and purple.
A surprising sprinkle-dye is #325-326 – up close it reminds me of the colors you might see in a children’s storybook, light happy colors.
When I got nearly finished with the session I mixed most of the remaining colors for a true DumpDye, but it came out looking like a slightly lighter version of spruce, so I dumped in all the red, pink, and salmon as well to overdye the green effect. The variation in color along the strand seems most evident in bright daylight, but even in the photo you can see a sort of brown and then a sort of red-brown. Fascinating.
These are all Phydlbitz 2.0 and will be $27.50 on the Blog Reader Specials page, but for Saturday and Sunday you can have any matching Twinset from this week’s collection (#311-334) for $50.00 the pair.
