Kettle Dyed Rainbows!

December 17, 2015

How many colors are in a rainbow? All of them!

Knitting with a highly variegated yarn is great fun.  Each skein can be a complete surprise, defying your vision of what precisely the knitted or crocheted fabric will be--or vindicating you completely! 

There are so many interesting strategies to get the most out of any skein of hand dyed yarn.  We've seen Kettle Dyed Rainbow used for textured socks, plain socks, and stripey socks.  We've seen shawls, wraps, and a baby sweater, too!  Carol Sulcoski wrote 'Sock Yarn Studio' a few years ago, a great collection of patterns and information that helps knitters evaluate the potential of each skein. And Janelle Martin came to LYS to teach a workshop on Planned Pooling last year and the results were STUNNING! 

These rainbow skeins have such beautiful color breaks and the colors are so rich. What will you make?
