BFL!

So, I received some BFL yarns and fibers the other day, and set about to start dyeing up some superwash sock yarn (which is fantastic, incidentally...) and somehow managed to do something to the yarn. It is sad, because this is really stunning yarn, in more ways than one.

blinding, isn't it? I love it.

it is an incredibly intense dye, much more than any yarn I've dyed previously, and the most amazing rainbow I've gotten. there are spots that look like the plies have shifted, and there's a tiny loop, and a second tiny loop about an inch away. Luckily, it doesn't affect the finished knit fabric, as light tension on the yarn as you knit seems to help. (yay!)


So, these skeins are going up as seconds. Hopefully someone will love to give them a home, because otherwise I'm going to outfit my whole extended family with bright rainbow socks.

Coming soon... more BFL yarn and fiber.
