Wind & Knit

For the life of me I couldn’t get a really true picture of the colors. It is somewhere between the dark of the yarn on the winder,

and the bright colors of the yarn outside in natural light,

I love the colors! And I like how it stripes each row going between the blue/orange on needle 1, blue/red on needle 2 and the blue/green/purple on needle 3. It’s fantastic & another order of knitpicks dye your own yarn has been placed! I have 3 more hanks of the sock yarn to mess around with in the meantime.

Another thing I really like about using this yarn to dye is that it is so soft and it stayed that way after all the manipulation of the dyeing process. I am using size 2 needles with this yarn and getting 8sts/inch. It works out well. My hands don’t cramp nearly as much as with the size 00’s! For this set of socks I am not sure what pattern I will do. I may just do some simple stockinette socks and let the yarn do the talkin’!
