Hand-dyed Yarn Update

I balled up the yarn that I hand-dyed earlier this week and am incredibly happy wit the results!

This color combo includes orange, teal, and green. I’ve been in a fingerless mitt phase so I think that’s what this will become.

This one was my favorite – lime green, teal, and purple. I’d like to make something for myself out of this yarn, but I’m not sure what. I could use a new pair of gloves, or maybe a new hat?

This is a deceiving ball. I personally don’t think it looks very pretty but I worked up a small swatch and it looks really nice. My husband has asked for me to make a scarf out of it.

This is construction vest orange. I tried to make a pair of fingerless mitts out of it yesterday but I didn’t have quite enough, so it looks like this will become a headband or something.

Overall, I’m incredibly happy with the way my yarn dyeing experiment worked out, and I plan on trying again soon. I’d like to get some signature color combos nailed down to add some brand recognition to my crochet items; we’ll see where that goes for 2013.
