Today was the first day I've dyed yarn since the end of September. It was a much needed break.

Putting the color matching skills to the test for a customer who is going to be doing the Arne & Carlos stocking stitch along.

The color came out more bright red than orange-red, but it still reminds me of a Mexican Red Knee Tarantula.

#handdyed #indiedyer #yarn #fiberarts #humanmade
5 skeins of yarn laying on a tan cushion. The skeins are a grey base with black twist and red and pale orange dye have been poured on them to give a variegated coloration. A Mexican Red Knee Tarantula on a rock. It has a black body with red and orange bands around the leg joints and a reddish orange band around the Prosoma portion of its body.

105g of single ply fingering weight 100% super wash merino in purple, fuchsia, cobalt, emerald, gold, and teal…

The plan is to knit a hood, edge the hood, then pick up stitches and knit a scarf. Maybe. We’ll see…

With Steph’s socks finished, I’m thinking about what’s next because GASP there’s an open sock needle. The Cocoon socks have to get done next but after that, I’m going to focus on the wee dress but also cast on socks for Jake with this… #IndieDyer #HandDyed #Yarn #ThreadsByMegannicole

Here’s some of my favorite non-luxury blend sock yarns side by side. #IndieDyer #Sock #Yarn #Knitting 🧶
L to R in rough preference order: 1. Lana Grossa Seta. It’s a 4-ply with 75/25, so it’s average in construction but the softness is only matched by my 2nd choice. It’s less expensive but harder to source. From Italy. Not an indie dyer. 2. Evergreen Yarn Studio. Similar construction and ply. Super soft, amazing colors, easy to get online, average cost for an indie dyed yarn. Comes from Washington state. 3. The Sheepy Shire. Another lovely 4-ply that comes in a staggering array of colorways. Makes lovely socks, it’s just not quite as buttery as my first two. Prices are average for an indie dyed yarn and it comes from right here in Pennsylvania. 4. Lichen & Lace. It’s the yarn I’m exclusively using for the temperature project and I’ve made a bunch of socks from it. It’s a slightly thicker 3-ply so it’s perfect when you want a slightly warmer sock. The colorways are based on nature so they can be a little subdued for my taste but are absolutely beautiful. Great choice for colorwork. Average price for hand dyed and comes from Canada so takes a little longer to arrive but worth the wait. 5. WYS. Not indie dyed but small company production in the UK. Composition is 75 wool/25 nylon with 35% being Bluefaced Leicester and all wool sourced in Britain. This is a less expensive option with amazing colorways. I only use their self stripping ones but they have a full range of solids too. Easily sourced from shops and online. 6. Emma’s Yarn from Four Purls. This is their Super Silky instead of the Practically Perfect sock but they’re very similar. 2-ply construction which is why it’s last on this list. It makes beautiful socks and they have an insane number of colorways. I just prefer to use at least 3 plies for durability. Amazing yarn for garments though. Average price for hand dyed and easily purchased on line or at their shop in Florida. *Average cost per skein of hand dyed non-luxury blend sock yarn is $26-$29. More than that and it better be extra special.

This week's #showmeyourknits theme is baby sweaters. Here is a toddler sized "Plain Jane" by Yvonne Thorsen, available from Ravelry. I knit it in a solid cyan and a self-striping 3-color yarn, both dyed by me (Doggone Good Yarn) for a sample for my booth. #IndieDyer #knitting #yarn

The sock yarn from Evergreen Yarn Studio is on the finer side (I’m getting 15-16WPI) and yet, it’s a four ply that incredibly soft. #IndieDyer #HandDyed #Yarn 🧶
Hot pink yarn wrapped around a yellow plastic ruler. The plies at the end have been untwisted to show the four strands making up the yarn.

Odd one here:
I love this colorway, but no one else does. I don't understand. There are 6 skeins available if you find this as lovely as I do and want to make a wonderful project.
