Finishing Things
This week, I am finishing things. The first thing I’ve finished doing is winding an impossibly tangled ball of yarn that I dyed in the washing-machine. Folks, never dye 4-ply cotton in the washing-machine.
…unless you have the patience to spend many, many hours turning it from this:
into this:
I photographed it with my nasturtiums because the colours are quite similar and I love the way the red looks against all that green…
I have knit up a swatch and gotten gauge for the top I want to make out of this yarn, so that’s another small task completed.
I just have to press it now. It has very short stripes, in kind of nasturtium and calendula oranges and reds.
The yarn is Patons 4-ply cotton. It was previously a peachy/coral shade that I would never wear or enjoy knitting with; now it reminds me of this flowerbed and many hours spent untangling.
