Anyway, because of this, I dyed 28 pounds of yarn on Monday. This is about twice as much as I dye in a day and eight pounds more than I have ever dyed in a single day by myself.
Here's some of it on the couch waiting to be wound and labelled.
Here's the rest as it is getting put on the shelf. I filled the regular shelf with it and am starting on another.
I dyed 22 lbs of sock yarn and 6 lbs of the merino superwash. I had quite a good time and have cooked up several new colorways for everyone's enjoyment.
In other news, I finished the wrap sweater from Big Girl Knits and it is officially my new favorite sweater!
This is my first wrap sweater and though the finish work is fiddly in the extreme, the result is really worth it.
Hope to see everyone at Gore Place. I've got Annie working with me for the whole day and I'm look forward to actually getting out of my booth and seeing more of the festival than the port-o-potties and the Fudge Guy.

OMG Lucy that sweater came out looking GREAT! It's so flattering! And a great color, too. Good job!
The sweater is fabulous. Nice work. And the yarn is even yummier.
Have a great time at Gore Place. Wish I could be there.
The yarn is good old Cascade 220, the best yarn ever invented!
I wish you could be there too Rosemary!
Is there an endurance award for knitting a three-and-a-half-foot–long sash? There should be!
Wow, holy awesome hand-dyed yarn, Batman!! The sweater ROCKS, naturally; and yes, it is all about the sash, you work that thing, girl! I'm gonna try to drag myself over to knitting group tonight, hope I make it...............
Cascade 220 is Rich's favorite yarn of all time.
Are dogs allowed at this event? We are trying to figure out the logistics with Logan.
I might have to rethink going to Gore Place this year - your beautiful yarn and great weather, what winning combo.
