 Colorway Gallery Creating something custom? This is a great place to start! These are representative photos of the past work I have offered for sale. It is not an all inclusive list, and custom colorways are often only once created. This list does not contain the 24 colorways I created for TLE and sold under that label. -What are "watercolor series" colorways? These are colorways that are truly unique! Each skein, though dyed in lots, is as individual as a snowflake! The dyes are applied like watercolor paints, moving through the yarn and each color in its own distinct way. I have used these successfully without alternating skeins, as they rarely repeat the same mix of color within the same skein. These are my very favorite colorways for depth and texture. Kettle dyeing, is ultimately dyeing fibers/yarns in one container. The result is a bit different from traditional hand painting. This is my personal favorite method, and also the most unpredictable. The finished garment moves through colors softly, with little to no "pooling" (when colors pattern in large shapes together). Please remember that there are no dyelots, and no 2 skeins will be identical. This is the serendipitous nature of hand dyeing. If there is a great difference in your yarns, please alternate skeins while crafting. Ordering all the yarn you will need for your project will greatly improve the variations between skeins. -I have spots in my yarn. Is this a mistake? No! Color bursts are an inherent part of hand dyeing. (fiber or fabric, in fact!) Some dyes simply "burst" with color while setting. Not all dyes do this, but it is not a defect of dyeing. You will find a great explanation of this in many dye suppliers' catalogs for further understanding of individual dye molecule properties. Please remember that hand dyeing is an art, not a mechanical process. There are many variations and pleasant surprises along the way! (for example, some browns burst red and blue... some pinks burst purple and green!) This list is non-inclusive. These are most of the colorways offered for retail sale. I have many custom colorways and also exclusive colorways not pictured here. 2005-2007 Colorways: Italics= random kettle / watercolor series colorway  Chocolat Cherise  Autumnal Rainbow Pumpkin Pie  Amaretto Cheesecake Blueberry Pie  Living Light Emperor  Jamie Woodland Fae  October Mateo  Patchouli Serene  Ochoco Mocha Java  Sedona Anu  Neptune  Dahlia Aloha  Ben Georgia  Iris Lufaloo Sakura Strawberry Fields Forever  Valentino Vitamin C  Bloom Orange Crush  Pangaea  Gaia  Jay Amethyst  Linen Black Pearl  Blissed Peppermint Mocha  Hopi Succotash Summertime Rolls Naiad Maypole2008 Colorways  Bella  Calliope Esquire Ishtar  November  Pixie (has tiny bit pale blue that did not show well here) Scarab  Soloman Splendor  Wise Nine Mile Agate Kelso  Drenched Parfait  Secret Garden Asperge  Calypso Mahalo  One Love Sugar Magnolia The Pumpkin King Thistle  Agatha Echinacea  Malkah Safflower  Faerie Ring Penelope  Aubergine Parrot  Tramanto Fern Gully  Bettie  Granola Funk  Gwendolyn Blossom Roots Concrete Jungle Boreal2009 Colorways  Fiesta Froze Rose Levi  Pressed Flowers Marguerite  Stephen  Equinox  Hermana Shalom  Solstice Spiced Cider  Aquarius  Cody Everglades  Hope Jewel  Judah JuJu  June Lhasa  Makeda Meadow  Miguel  Nile  Nude Oliphant  Orchid Paintbrush  Sarah Zen2010 Colorways  Arizona Blooms  Chinook  Daybreak  Pacific Grove *watercolor series*  Plum Blossom  Taos  Abyss *watercolor series*  Cacao *watercolor series*  Caribbean *watercolor series*  Classic Girl  Cottontail  Cotyledon *watercolor series*  Emerald Isle *watercolor series*  Lupine *watercolor series*  Napa Valley  Rouge *watercolor series*  Rumours *watercolor series*  Tryst *watercolor series* For yarn choices and information, please click here.
