More Tortoisey?

Maureen was the first to comment on yesterday's post and she gave me pause for thought. Sure, the bottom swatch is technically correct, but it's not classic tortoise. Is this better? I dyed some wool yesterday but fear I was a bit heavy handed with the yellow, it's very bright. I think I must spin and dye another skein and aim for a paler yellow.

  2. I like the color contrast. I'm not very familiar with tortoises, but I think you're right that a paler yellow might be more classic.
