This lovely variegated colorway was inspired by one of my favorite prints by artist Sally Harless, Sail Close to the Wind, and I thank her for her kind permission in allowing me to use her image in the shop listing.
Two techniques are used to create this colorway. The skeins are kettle dyed to add the stormy grey and tonal teals of the ocean waves. The little hints of foxy orange, and the pink of the ship’s flag are then hand painted.

Re-skeining means that after a skein has been dyed, it is then re-wound at a slightly different circumference. This blends the colors and results in a skein that looks variegated, giving the customer a better idea of how the finished fabric will appear.
These are two skeins in the same dyelot — the one on the left has been re-skeined, and the one on the right looks as it did coming out of the dyepot.

Just a few of the semi-solids that are now available on all yarn bases!
My head may be turned by a gorgeous variegated yarn, but I always seem to come back to the semi-solids.
