Fun Times in the Dye Vats!

Happy Saturday!

Another fun collection of Phydlbitz Sock for you — 75/25 Superwash 25-micron Merino/Nylon, 460 yards each.

Along with several of my regular techniques, I tried something new on Twinset #175-176.  Besides being a regular sprinkle,  I used 4 different colors and overlapped each section so there are two colors in each section, but each color covers 2 section.  Interesting blending, and I’ll probably try it again in the future with different colors.

There are a few long-span two-tones (72-inch repeats), like #169-170, #181-182, and #185-186.

Twinset #177-178 is done with rich red bands that were supposed to be separated with gold bands.  The red bled into the gold while in the steamer so it looks like a deep orange bands.  It still looks amazing, just not the clearly segmented red-and-gold I had intended.

Twinset #189-190 is a purple speckled with a pink over-wash.  Twinset #191-192 is a similar style, with turquoise sprinkles with a pale gold over-wash.

If you’d like a close up or outside daylight picture of any particular pair, please let me know this weekend; they’ll be reskeined and labeled for the Blog Reader Specials page when they are fully dried.

Phydlbitz Sock is normally $28.00 each, but for Saturday and Sunday visitors are invited to claim any two or more skeins for $26.00 each.
