MONET'S WATER LILIES Hand Dyed on So Silky Fingering - Assigned Pooling Yarn feb20 Dappled Things

Dappled Things

Sock Perfection - 450 yards | 80% extra-fine superwash merino + 20% nylon | 4-ply yarn

It's a little different from my usual classical sources of inspiration

I spun a 2-ply skein using two Jazz batts as shown in the second photo

I have been wanting to make a colorway that was as true to those gorgeous feathers as I could

MONET'S WATER LILIES Hand Dyed on So Silky Fingering - Assigned Pooling Yarn feb20 Dappled ThingsMonet's Water Lilies was inspired by Monet's amazing series of oil paintings by the same name. The colors include multiple shades of blue and green. This time I dyed it as an assigned pooling colorway with Lilac at one end as the assigned pooling color. YARN BASE I dyed it on So Silky Fingering, which is made of half superwash merino and half mulberry silk. It's a wonderful yarn base for everything from shawls to socks to warp or weft for weaving.
