Hand dyed yarn is expensive, but the raw materials are pricey to start with and then a hand dyer has to put so much time and effort in the dyeing process and post-dyeing activities. Once the yarn dye, it needs to be twisted up, photographed, labelled and packaged up when sold. Yarn dyeing itself is a small part of the process! And don’t mention the washing up!! I’ve had quite a few questions about where my inspiration for different colourways come from when I’m dyeing. It can be anywhere really. The first sock yarn in the DK series, Terre verte, was inspired by a YouTube video I watched about watercolour mixing for greens, including this shade. I then took the idea of using different combinations of dyes to produce speckled and variegated earth tones in different colours. Terre rosea, Terre cotta and Terra viola came out of that. Seagrass was a custom dye order, based on a recent colourway I did in a different base, and Terre lavendula was inspired by the photograph on my calendar for May 2022! Inspiration for dyeing colourways can come from anywhere and its a lovely thing to do to collect inspirational photos on my phone, or in notebooks. As long as I can remember where they are when I need them! Please LIKE this video, or dislike it (it all helps!
