Did you know?
I love most sock yarn, but my least favorite happens to be hand-dyed yarns that do that spiral stripey thing. With that said, I took the pattern that I shared earlier this week, of "how to unstripe" a stripeing sock yarn and tried the same approach with a predictable spiraling hand-dye sock yarn.
The photos are showing both sides of the work.
I can't believe I am saying this.......but I am liking the results. Even though there is still a hint of spiraling, I'm liking it!
The yarn that I am using is Socks that Rock Lightweight Sock Yarn from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. On a crazy buying spree during my visit to Seattle, I had the uncontrollable urge to buy 6 hanks of Socks that Rock. I simply couldn't choose, they were all so beautiful. I couldn't wait to cast on and quickly found that even though the yarn itself was wonderful to work with, I (hate is such a strong word) didn't love the spiraling nature of the dyeing process.
But now, with a little experimentation, I'm a fan!!! I am so thrilled since I still have 4 hanks to go.
