There are some straight solid colors, like Teal (#437-438), Gold (#439-440), Purple (#449-450), Emerald (#451-452),\u00a0 Ecru (#455-456) and Turquoise (#459-460).\u00a0 \u00a0There were also some blended colors, like the slightly Chestnutted-Red (#447-448), a blended red and purple maroon or burgundy sort of color (#457-458), a navy-black fade (#443-444), and a blend of espresso bean and teddy bear brown (#453-454).<\/p>\n
The ecru was dyed double-strength just to get it looking like more than undyed ivory, but that particular color comes from the manufacturer as a blended dye of many colors.\u00a0 Thus, you will see the occasional blips of rust or blue where not all the pigments dissolved.\u00a0 \u00a0There was a small saturation of the ecru remaining so I used\u00a0 it for #445-446 with a light chestnut, for a two-tone fade.<\/p>\n
Twinset #441-442 is (to me, anyway) the most interesting.\u00a0 I started with a straight yellow dye solution but it was too bright for my eyes last night, so I used the last of the dark charcoal from a couple weeks ago as a fade overdye.\u00a0 The fade darkened the yellow so it is a two-tone fade.<\/p>\n
These are all on Phydlbitz Sock 2.0, the new 75\/25 blend of 25-micron Superwash Merino\/Nylon, marked at 430 yards.\u00a0 Since it come to me in pre-measured hanks at 115gm, it is more like 460+ yards for now.\u00a0 If the coned yarn comes available so I start pulling my own hanks, I will start pulling at around 440 yards.\u00a0 It’s a hassle for me to change the labels, so I’ll continue to mark them at 430+ yards for all Phydlbitz Sock yarns.\u00a0 As always, better to under-promise and over-deliver whenever I can.<\/p>\n

I started the dye session yesterday with a request (or more like a suggestion) for more solids to go with so many multi-colored sock yarns.\u00a0 \u00a0I think this week’s colors will be amazing on their own, in combinations with each other or used as a contrast against all those amazing multi-color sock yarns … Continue reading Making New Colors?<\/span>
