Note from The Dyer

A few people have expressed interest over random colour specks, so I thought I'd address the issue.

The dyes I choose to use are in crystal/powder form, rather than liquid. I mix them myself in my studio (read: on the stove in my kitchen). Red and blue to make purple. Yellow and blue to make green. It's all very preschool-teacher-meets-mad-scientist.

Sometimes a few of these base-pigment crystals get caught on the side of the pot and when they come into contact with the wet yarn, specks (of fairly intense colour) form.

I've always liked these specks, personally. It reinforced the idea of hand-dyed-one-of-a-kind, etc. I've actually developed another line of yarn that takes proper advantage of this effect. If you DON'T like them, the easiest way to rid yourself of them is to clip the yarn at the speck and continue knitting as if you've joined a second ball of yarn.

I hope everyone enjoys knitting the yarn (and the amazing pattern Meghan designed) as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Happy knitting,
