I think I should comment on Haworth Hand-Dyed Yarn. I started dyeing yarn for profit just because I need a little extra income and I love dyeing but there is no way I could ever use all of the yarn I dye. Plus, I would much rather see other peoples' ideas. When I dye, I never know how my yarn will turn out that being said, if I don't like how it looks, I won't sell it. I have a couple skeins that I didn't want to put up for sale because they just didn't flow the way I usually like. If you look at the West Side Stitches's myspace, you'll notice that there is a skein that looks very much like the one I am featuring in this post. I didn't want to sell it because the color was uniform throughout the skein. Most people would like this, but I think hand-dyed yarn shouldn't look like it was dyed by a machine. Just me being me though.

I love this yarn. I want to keep it, but that would be selfish. That is why I choose to dye-- to share it with everyone else. :)

Aww if you ever need help in the math department and knitting, I can do it! I'm decent at math. And that color is gorgeous. I really have to dye this week. It's been like a month!
