REVOLUTION SOCKS








This is Revolution knitted up. I started with 100gm hank of 80% Merino, 20% Bamboo, undyed. I dyed this myself in the microwave. I have knitted them on 2mm Knit Pro needles, using my Andersson Construction Method and Andersson heel Mach II. I am especially pleased with this yarn colouring and the yarn itself. My favourite mix I think.

Those are beautiful! My local knitting group was just talking this weekend about how magical it is to dye and knit up yarn yourself. Seems like you've "caught the bug".

All of the socks you are making from your hand-dyes are amazing! I like them even more than your usual socks.
