Recently I've had several requests for custom dyeing. I thoroughly enjoy this process - narrowing down the color, experimenting with different options, discovering unexpected surprises along the way.
The other day I found myself working with this yarn.
Bulky Peruvian wool. Currently I don't offer this yarn, but maybe I should. A project like this is a great way to give it a test run. I wound off some sample skeins.
The request was for a color in the brown family. I came up with half a dozen formulas and decided to try three of them.
I'll get feedback on these. Maybe one of them is the right color, maybe I have to dye more samples. Either way I'm glad I don't have to choose because I love them all.

It's probably good I'm not a dyer. I'd want to make ALL THE COLORS ALL THE TIME! That'd probably involve having too much stock on hand...
