Colors that use the same set of dye colors have the same name, although they may be applied in different ways. For example, Flower Shop Inferno is available as a variegated yarn, a Watercolor Stripes yarn, gradient- or fade-style half-skein set, mini skein set, and as spinning fiber. See the listing title and item details for more information on the color you are interested in.
Semisolid: A mostly solid color Tonal: Not quite solid, but not wildly variegated, either. Variegated: The color changes every few inches. These are sometimes called pooling colors. Socks/sleeves/mitts will be fraternal rather than identical. Watercolor Stripes: This style produces stripes when knit in small circumference projects, such as socks and mittens. My self-striping skeins are split in two to make it easier to match socks and mitts exactly. Mini Skein and Half Skein Sets: The color is deconstructed and spread out across 5 different skeins. These sets are are great for striping, gradient, or fade projects. They come as mini skein sets (100 grams) or as half size skeins (250 grams).
That's not a question, but I get you. Not every one loves the wildly fraternal socks that variegated yarns can sometimes make. I recommend using my Watercolor Stripes self-striping yarns to achieve matching socks and mitts. My Watercolor Stripes colors come automatically divided in to two matching skeins. Most of the colors that are available as a variegated colors are also available as Watercolor Stripes.
The majority of wait time is due to orders in the queue ahead of yours. I have a limited number of spots that I can dye each week. Rather than close ordering, I chose to extend the shipping times. The most current shipping estimates can be found in the shop announcements. RUSH ORDERS - Occasionally I can fill rush orders, but not in December. I'm sorry!
I host an audio podcast called Knit. Dye. Read. Although I do talk about Dyeabolical and related topics, Knit. Dye. Read. is primarily a personal podcast about what I'm knitting, what I'm reading, and what I am thinking about. There is no set recording schedule.
Hand wash in cool water using an unscented wool wash for best results.
