Arcane Fiber Works - Gorgeous Hand Dyed Yarn

Arcane Fiber Works - Driftwood

 

Have you seen these?  Arcane Fiber Works is a dye shop in Canada that uses photos to inspire the colors of their dye combinations on yarn.   

I ordered 2 skeins of Driftwood for my next pair of socks on the knitting looms.  I used one of my retirement gift certificates to pay for it. Huzzah!

I also wanted to get a closer look, with the intention of dying some of my own in this style.  The owner has a keen eye for color!

They have a number of videos showing their methods.   The real trick is to figure out what dye colors to mix up and in what proportions.  I think I can use my Periodic Table of Colors to figure out the dye mixes.

This is what it looks like balled up.

 

I already turned the skeins into balls and  loaded them up on my 64-peg oval sock knitting looms from CinDWood.  This will be the handwork project for the next year or so ...  Here I've already worked up the toe box with a kitchener cast for one of the socks.
