After the popularity of the skein of yarn I showed for Dyeing for Fun Part 17 and my socks that I recently started, I decided to dye another skein of what I used to call Black Magic, but now call Blackberry. Each time I dye with black and break the dye, it looks different. This time, the tonal aspect is a little more even than my first skein. The underlying color is black and gray, but has heathered tones of purple and green. In my opinion, the pictures don't do the yarn justice, as it has trouble picking up the hidden colors in the skein.

That is gorgeous Tami! I'm getting a skein of your yummy yarn in a couple of weeks after I've been paid, the only problem is there is so much gorgeous stuff, I can't choose!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!!!!! I can't wait to see whatelse you come up with.
ReplyDeleteOnce I'm settled in my new home, I'm buying a skein of your yarn. You've got a great eye for color!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, thank you! I'll be excited to see what you decide on.
ReplyDeleteNeo.soul, thank you. :)
Vanessa, awesome and thank you. I guess all those years of school for my art degree paid off. LOL
Sold? Well, that was fast. Don't go turning into some sort of US Wollmeise on us. ;) Or on second thought...
ReplyDeletePaula, one can dream. ;) It just sold and I packed it up to take to the post office before my crochet/knitting meetup. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the blackberry color! I just got my first order from you - raspberry sorbet - and am SUPER excited to begin working with it. As beautiful in person as I expected from the online photos. Great work.
ReplyDeleteCrochetBlogger, so glad to hear you love it as much in person! I actually have a few new lace colors cooking up this week that I'm super excited to share.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathleen! This one is a little greener than the one I'm using for my socks. Good memory! Glad you loved How to Train Your Dragon. It's one of my favorites, as I mentioned.
