Dyeing for Fun Part 16

It's that time again, when I share my most recent dye project. This one isn't actually my most recent, but needed to knit a swatch to show exactly how it stripes. That's right, it's self striping yarn! You may remember that I started the swatch and shared the beginning of it for WIPW 35.

I think this colorway is SO fun, and I hope you do, too!

    Very fun. There's something "Sesame Street" about it that I love.

    Thanks everyone for the kind comments! I had a ton of fun dyeing this skein and it was a little bit of a challenge so it's more rewarding that it is so well received. :)
