I dyed it in a deep purple, green and blue, but the sections where the cotton ties were didn’t really dye at all. I was somewhat saddened about this, until I realized that it actually looked pretty cool. Mom said that it reminded her of a Tie-Dye T-Shirt, so the name stuck! tie-dyed, with a wonderful frosty perry cider, ahhh. Then we have **New Mexico Sunset**, which is my absolute favorite of this dyeing session. I used Burnt Orange, Aztec Gold and Fire Red together to create a very brilliant skein that reminds me of our gorgeous sunsets here in NM. It wasn’t until later that I realized that I subconsciously dyed the skein of yarn that I hinted Scout about a few months ago. I had said I’d love a skein that looked like the NM flag with yellow and red, and well here it is! I especially love how the white sections that weren’t immersed and just soaked up dye turned a slight pink, which is what the sunset does too. new mexico sunset [...] [...] First up is Tie-Dyed, which is literally named because this is the first skein I dyed, and the ties were way too tight.

I must have a sky blue/cobalty blue version of this yarn if at all possible! Screw this yarn diet, that is PERFECT. And feltable too! I've been looking everywhere for a balanced variegated-ish blues in worsted weight feltable. Omg the orchid twist… I must have a sky blue/cobalty blue version of this yarn if at all possible!

I know, I know, trade secret. If you keep coming up with stuff like Puesta del Sol (pause to consult Spanish dictionary -- ah, very aptly named) you may change my opinion of yellow -- namely, nice color for daffodils and sunsets, not for me.
