I hope I have enough contrast between the colours for my
beret and scarf. I spun another three skeins after
these ones and then pondered how many skeins to dye of each colour. I used half a skein of the light colour in my original sample, so I figured 2 skeins should cover it. I dyed the rest dark. The peach dyeing is even, but I forgot to throw out the water with vinegar in it before I dyed the dark wool, so it's a bit uneven. I'll choose the more uneven skeins for the beret and the better ones for the scarf.
The colors are very pretty! I think it's difficult to tell if there's enough contrast until a swatch is made up. I hope you get the results you're looking for!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shades ! You have a great eye for colour :-)
ReplyDeleteHey, what are the chances - 3 consecutive pics in your blog list are of earrings using very similar colours !!!
Blue and white must be the in-colours for earrings!
DeleteLovely neutral shades. In my opinion, it is not problematic if there is some unevenness in the dying.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm not too worried about the unevenness in this case. It could look horrid in a stocking stitch cardigan or something like that.
DeleteLove your colour combinations for the scarf and beret
ReplyDeleteto me uneven looks great and hand done not done by a machine and that what I like to see. even a little mistake in tatting is not the end of the world at time.
ReplyDeleteLooks like there should be plenty of contrast!! :)
