Indigo Over Osage #35

Posted 6/3/2011 2:32pm by Eugene Wyatt.

Again, a most unusual natural color. More green than indigo blue and more yellow too than the colors in #34  One would suppose that its uniqueness is the result of the Osage I dyed as a base color as the other Indigo overdyes that I did in sucession produced colors that one might expect.

This color was dyed in a limited edltion of 24 skeins and they all vary somewhat.  Available in the Yarn Store.

Each worsted skein weighs 2 ounces (50 grams) and it is 140 yards in length; the wool comes from our superfine Saxon Merino sheep and is hand-dyed with natural colors on the farm.  Expect 5-6.5 stitches per inch using US 5-8/3.75-5.25 mm needles.

Found you on twitter.
These are wonderful colors, and wonderful yarn. I am just now skirting my very first fleece, that is my sheep's first fleece:)
And I love the finding all that narrative about sheep mixed with Proust. Beautiful!
Cheers

I have a picture of mittens that I knit with your yarn. I'd like to send it to you. How can I do this?
