\nHere’s a skein from the dye day at Jetsy’s<\/a>. I experimented with winding the yarn in a different way. Five twists around the blue side, then looping around the black side twice. This should make a long strip of blue before the black comes into play. I combined different shades with one base blue for the longer section for some gradiations within the loops.

\nI thought unwinding the skein might be a challenge. Normally you’d put a skein wound this way back over whatever you wound it around in the first place, but I didn’t have access to that. So I used a pottery cup and a copy of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator to keep it from getting tangled with unwinding. It worked well.

\nHere’s the yarn wound into a skein. 220 yards of worsted weight – I don’t recall what the base yarn was. I’m not sure exactly what to knit with it, but I did enjoy dyeing it and I learned a lot. My warping board is still one of those “one of these days” thing, so this was a nice basic experiment. And at this point, having a good learning experience is still the goal.
