I would really have loved to see the finished yarn side by side.

I wish you would share what the finish yarn looks like each time. Then we have a better idea if we would like to mix the similar ones together. Good info for sure.

I am curious abt the temperature of your dye that you are adding to the hot trays and if the temperature difference can cause felting.

Pretty colors but please show the finished yarn because yarn usually dries a bit lighter.

Another fun episode, Meg! I enjoy watching you in your dye studio, but it's always fun having a chat too! Your new mercerized (metcy, mercy me) base looks cool. I liked the spring too. Interested in the 'testing shawl.

About a tablespoon. The exact amount will depend on your water pH and mineral content. I add until I am at a pH of ~3.5

The mercerized wool is very intriguing. It sounds fantastic. I am concerned about the biodegradable nylon though. Do you know what it is made from? I am highly allergic to soy including soy oil and have already had to give up acrylic and polyester because they are often sourced from soy. The video is wonderful. I enjoy watching you dye yarn.

I've really enjoyed your videos. And, I did take a kettle dyeing class at a local yarn dyer. It was fun! I love purples & pinks too. Can't wait to see the finished product. I looked in your shop. I'll look again next week. I'd probably make something simple like a Hitchhiker to just showcase all of the colors in the yarn.

Thank you so much for watching! I ended up dying quite a few test colors and should have them listed in the shop this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion of a Hitchhiker for this yarn. I agree that it is a great pattern for letting speckled yarn shine.

Hi Meg and Todd! I love the light one and even more after my skeins arrived! Since you're considering adding the darker one to your permanent collection, I vote for the light one to be the LYS colorway. Selfishly, I already have the light one and can get the darker one later. 😊 Todd's opinion is valuable as he is an artist 😊

I like the one that has the most blues and mint green as LYS day choice and the one with most colors to be added as a permanent colorway.

I think either would be a good option for LYS day, but I do agree the brighter one is really similar to your other two, so maybe it is best for LYS day & the dark one be in your everyday collection. I would like to see more mint in the brighter one & more purple in the darker one. 😁

I love both colors. I think the lighter brighter one is great for LYS Day because it screams pool weather is approaching. The darker one is a good all around color for so many things. I’d be happy with either.

This is a tough decision because I prefer the darker deeper toned yarn but I want to be able to order it from your shop so I say the lighter version with more mint for LYS day!😁😁 (I also love pops of magenta in everything!!!)
