[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hand Dyed Yarns

[jill]

Those colors sound beautiful.  I know what you mean about rainbow yarn!
Just in my few short weeks of loom knitting, I have noticed that yarn
companies want to give you every color under the sun in one skane!

So if you want him to include certain colors in the dyeing of the yarn he  
will do that?  
 
I have this idea of colors of purples and blues fading to lavenders   and I 
don't want the stupid pinks and greens and other scolors that they always  
insist on including in regular yarn.
 
Man, They are having a cowl class done on a fine gauge loom that you need  
to use the fingering weight yarn.  How cool would that be made in this
yarn!

Yes,  friends - you heard me right -  If you get fingering yarn which is  
barely smaller than worsted weight you get 880 yards of fingering weight .  
If you get his worsted  you get 440 yards of worsted.
He told me  to get the Fingering yarn and double it, and use size 8 needle 
for the  double basket weave and that it would be far lighter and lacier 
than 
if I  used the worsted weight yarn for a scarf.

He told me "you might get  more yarn for your money that way" and if he 
says 
so, well, he is the  expert at this. VERY EXCITING.

If you are looking for great yarns -  hand dyed and to YOUR specifications, 
you cannot beat this. The thing is,  Onix is an artist, so his colors are 
so 
far beyond what you find on the  market - and the quality of his yarns are 
the best possible.
