Last weekend I dyed another collection of Phydlbitz Sock 2.0 that I showed on the Blog on Saturday (click here), with many yarns being claimed.
This particular yarn excited me in the preview pictures, and made me even more happy to see it skeined up. What really excites me is how the few colors I used migrated and blended on their own in the steamer. Here is the reskeined yarn (#337) …
And here is the yarn laid out before I twisted and labeled it:
I love how the colors blended around. But I guess other people aren’t excited by this particular colorway. People also skipped over the other yarn that really tickled me, Twinset #325-326:
Here is the whole collection of yarns posted to the Blog Reader Specials page.
It’s amazing how much different the skeins look once they’re twisted together. I don’t recognize some of them.
Yup. It’s crazy how yarns appear so different comparing post-dye wash&rinse hanging to dry and then the ‘presentation’ version all pretty and labeled for sale. Once a skein is put up and labeled, it is not always easy to see the color distribution, so I show it both before and after.
That’s why I can always find something on the BRS page I overlooked on the original presentation.
Those are gorgeous and so are some of the other remaining ones from last week! And so unique. Awesome job as always, Ray!
Thanks! 🙂
