Knitters ADD

So, I have 4 projects on the needles. But I’m starting this:

As for the dyeing, Cookie asked how I’d compare the Knit Picks to the Henry’s Attic yarns. My Knit Picks is probably a year old, so I’m not sure that it compares to what they’re sending now. It’s serviceable yarn, but it didn’t like the dye. The difference was very stark when I was dyeing them. And, it’s not superwash.

And Chris observed that Knit Picks needs to be washed to be properly examined. I didn’t notice that. Again, maybe it’s because I was using older stuff. But I’ve done a few dye jobs with it, and I haven’t noticed any blooming at all.

    Oh, pretty pretty colors in your new project! I’ll to keep an eye on how the KnitPicks behaves after I knit with it - of course, it’s about project #35 in my queue…

  2. Cookie:

    Ah yes, that’s the reason that makes me think KnitPicks must have changed somehow because when I tried to dye their yarn (maybe 1.5 years ago?) it didn’t take the dye well at all. But recently I’ve seen pictures of KnitPicks yarn dyed with Koolaid of all things that looks pretty saturated. I wonder if they changed something or if there’s a secret we need to know about dyeing KP yarn?

    Pretty new project. Looking forward to more pics.
