These don't really need a before and after picture, as they are cones. [: These were actually two lots, but from the same lady. Some of this wool is incredibly soft, and surprisingly I think they might be 100% Acryllic... but I'm not sure as the labels on the insides of the cones don't say- they just give me a 'dye lot' number. It's always a treat to get a variegated cone in a lot, as they are generally more expensive. (just FYI... buying a cone like this new, they go for anywhere between £8 and £16 each. I've been getting them for less than £2 each. It's hard to pass that up! These worked out to about £1 each (shipping included!). Recycle, Reuse, Restyle, SAVE.)
p.s. I need to take an after picture of lot 6.
p.p.s. I've stopped actually buying more wool on ebay now (I gave myself a budget). haha. Just documenting them as they come in. [:
p.p.s. If the light is good tomorrow, I'll take some photos of the colour organizing I've been doing and my swatches.
p.p.p.s. Can't remember if I said this, but the reason I'm collecting all these different types/colours of wool is not only to learn about how they work/knit/come but to build up a big colour library so I can successfully make big (what I'm calling) 'knitted illustrations' or at least get better at Colour Knitting- and using my own designs. As Kaffe Fasset says: "When in doubt- add another twenty colours!"
