Candy Skein- Blackberry Fingering


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.

  5. Sold? Well, that was fast. Don't go turning into some sort of US Wollmeise on us. ;) Or on second thought...

  9. Thanks 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.
