This weekend, my wonderful husband is off on a snow boarding weekend
He leaves on Friday and comes back on Monday
What will I do without him? Dye yarn of course!
I've got my acid dyes
I've got my 8ply and 10ply yarn (thats DK, Worsted/Aran to some of you)
I know 8ply yarn doesn't acutally have 8 individual plys but thats what's printed on the yarn tags!
It's very hard to find a yarn like super bulky when nothing you search through at your LYS has that written on the tag!
So if you're ever in a Ravelry chat room thingie and someone says "can I use 8ply" don't reply with "the ply has nothing to do with it" - because to us, it does! It really really does!
To make things easier for me when I'm in the yarn store, I am going to start carrying around a universal pocket card and go off the needle sizes too
Anyway, my point is:
I have my dyes
I have my yarn
I'm ready to go!
(provided I can find a large pot tomorrow/Friday)
Wanna see my yarn?
Oooh squishy!
Now to start unravelling it all.....
Ohhh, exciting! Really looking forward to seeing the finished results! Good luck!
