Daffodils and Iris?

I’m pretty sure I don’t have to tell you what I’ve been up to day…a picture says a thousand words, or in this case four (I have been dyeing). I know I’m supposed to wear gloves. I ran out of disposables, my dogs ripped the standard yellow kitchen ones and I have no idea where my industrial strength blue ones are. I tried to be careful, but this is me, you know??? (well you might now know, but if you did, I am quite a klutz and always make quite a mess with any project I take on)

I’m really excited about this colorway…fingering weight merino in variations of blue, green and yellow patterned to produce stripes. It’s steaming right now and I hope to have it dry, photographed and in the store by Wednesday. I think I’ll have to see the final product to make a decision, but right now I’m thinking this colorway will be called Daffodils and Iris. I couldn’t stop picturing either one while working with these colors! They are so bright and summery. The superwash yarn takes color beautifully; very happy about that. I’ll be spending at least part of my day tomorrow doing the same thing but working in different colors. Pictures are imminent. Yarn steaming is really not that exciting to see.
