Every skein is great.
If a skein is wasted..."
you know the rest (or should. and if you don't - your own loss)
I found myself singing this as I hung some recent dye experiments to dry.
It started with some blues and pinks-purple needed to finish Abi's new shawl. The results of the first batch were lovely and what I expected from Abi's colours. They were used for the picot bind off.
Remember the yarn Abi and her friend dyed? It was knit up into these:
However, not all of our yarn experiments are equally lovely.
Yesterday proved that...
Abi wanted yellow. It took a while of being dissatisfied with the resulting pale yellow to add a drop of red to make it darker / visible. For the last skein I thought I would transform the yellow dye bath into some orange. There was still plenty of yellow left from trying to make it darker. Maybe adding a drop of the neon pink wasn't a great choice. It didn't matter how much red I added after... the skein is doomed to be crazy-bright.
No idea what I'll do with these...
And then there's this pink and blue in the same yarn base.
It's rather meh in my books.
