Dye Dye Dye

This week I've not knit any socks ;o(

It's taking a long time to unpack from a show as big as Summerfolk, and all my gear is in the dye room, so instead of knitting I've been able to get some work done at the dye pot while I unpack, sort, and clean.

The yarn on the dry rack is a new colour for me this yearn - Golden Pear. It's one of 5 colours in a new theme I'm working on. The dye is, as usual, Prochem's Washfast Acid Dye, and the yarn is my own fingering weight 75/25 Wool/Nylon.

I was feeling impatient about the new colour combinations, so I skipped ahead from dyeing the individual batches in the pot to hand painted some skeins with the 5 colours to see how they fit with one another.

Maybe you can guess what the other colours are.

OK, this colour is NOT one of them.

I had some end-of-cone skeins of lower yardage than my standard (400 feet) so I tied them up and threw them in a pot of Bright Orange.

To knit Halloween Socks, don't ya' know.

I'm almost finished with the unpacking. Now I have to pack up for the farmers' market tomorrow....
