Today’s eye candy is some yarn that I dyed last weekend. I used food coloring to dye a couple hanks of KnitPicks dye your own fingering weight merino. I’ve had the yarn laying around for awhile, but had never done anything with it. Then, last week I get the itch to dye something. I didn’t feel like getting completely messy, that’s why I went with the food coloring rather than the acid dyes.

In current knitting, I’m avoiding the Faux Russian Stole. Not sure why. Could be the size of the chart. But I haven’t even managed to complete one chart repeat yet. In it’s place, I’ve finished my Canadian scarf and started a hat for the husband. It’s just a basic hat, no real pattern, out of black Lana Gatto Feeling. I should also be receiving an order from Webs today containing Araucania Nature Wool in the grey colorway. I’m hoping this will work for Durrow. My order of Silky Wool arrived a couple of weeks ago, but it’s a lighter yarn than I remembered (cause looking at the gauge details on the website didn’t register). But, I can make a nice sweater out it down the road, I’m sure.
