Pears N Berries

Here is a pair of Size Medium socks knit with my Pears N Berries hand paint 75/25 Wool/Nylon, on the 54 cylinder Legare 400.

I do my hand paints in batches of 6, which is actually two batches of three. Even though I use the same colours on both groups of three skeins, they are always a little different. In this case, I would say there are more Pears than Berries.

But in this batch,

there's definitely more Berries than Pears!

And here is a combo pair using Golden Pear as the main colour, and leftover Pears N Berries for the heel, toe, and a wee accent stripe tucked under the hem top.

And at the dye pot

Another member of the new colour scheme is Island Blue (which you should be able to see in the Pears N Berries). I've fiddled some with the picture - its really a deep turquoise in the lower values, turning almost to navy in the higher values.

As with the other colours in this theme, I am using my own 75/25 Wool/Nylon fingering weight.
