Okay, so this is the yarn that Diana (nana) gave me. It was for dyeing. I dyed it with the help of Liz Marley ( ETSY SHOP).Liz very kindly invited me to her home and showed me how to dye it. I just chose the colours and then I 'painted' the yarn any way I fancied and Liz cooked it and then wrapped it up for me to take home.
I have knit it toe up using Addi 2mm needles, Andersson Heel and 3 x3 rib.

Thanks for your link to KBTH... your colors are absolutely gorgeous! Great job, on both the dyeing and the knitting, of course.
Those are gorgeous!
Not as much black as I was expecting from how it looked wet, but the colours are great, and it looks lovely knitted up!
wonderful dyeing you'd best come here now and dye some more fleece for me to spin for you.. You've chosen colours well, and blended them beautifully. Was this microwaved or steamed or something else..? Lovely.

WOW, sorry for being loud, this is such a great job you have done for the really first time with the dyes, no pooling, and the colours go well together so much.
You are a natural talent :-)
A friend has given me some yarn with almost the same combination sunday, only there is yellow with the blue, black, green pink/purple.
It will become baby bootees for two babies being born into our community in the next few months.
Both boys, :-)
Your doodling with paints/dyes has gone so good, and it looks great knitted up.
Colin, that's a gorgeous sock! I bet you've got the dyeing bug now...
Great socks! Lovely colors--
Hey, bewdy, mate!! Just watch out for the addiction, major symptom of which is only considering cream/white/undyed yarn for purchase, LOL. Keep up the wonderful stuff,
Cheers, Karen in Melbourne
Pretty sock, Colin. Pretty yarn, too. You picked great colors and did a good job with the distribution.
