It’s pretty,
but I want it darker, so I’m going to re-dye the alpaca. It’s light, and much lighter when I open it up, there are even white spots. It’s amazing how things lighten when they dry. Even the wool wasn’t as dark as it looked like it was going to be. I’m not complaining there. Just observing.
Hayden is coming to visit on Monday. We’re all very excited.
Update-
Ok, ok. Now that I’m thinking about it, and looking at the photo, if I dye the silks really dark colors, like navy and superdark purple, that could have some nice contrast. With maybe a bit of a lighter blue.
What to do? What to do?

Oh wow, I think having darker bits of silk in there will be stunning. I LOVE that exact color of your alpaca. I’m knitting with that color right now and I’m calling it “Thistle”. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. Just my opinion of course, but did I mention how much I LOVE it?! 🙂 Have a lovely weekend, say hi to Hayden for me, and I’ll see you next Saturday!!!

I have to agree with Katie. LOVE the color. But I know it’s not what you were going for. The darker silk would be gorgeous with it though.

PS: Hi Katie.
