Coyote Song #1

These are the colors we like to dye where one color becomes another. The lesson to learn is when  something doesn't work out instead of stopping you can go further too—it's really a better way of stopping.  This color began as an ocher (Madder/Osage/Cutch/Pomegranate) that we didn't like and decided to overdye it with indigo and did. 

Last night I heard coyotes singing on the farm; I wanted to dye a color like their song.  If I never get that color I'll always have a color to dye or one to listen for.

This color was dyed in a limited editions of 24 skeins.

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.
