I’m so very pleased with my colour changing BFL yarn!
The yarn below is for socks. I have dyed it double stranded so it will give two identical socks! And the first 3–4 meters, when pulled from the centre, is a different colour to give a nice edge at the top of the sock. You can of course use it for wrist warmers, mittens or similar projects as well.
I think this yarn is so funky, I will proudly rate it 11 out of 10. :)
What do you reckon?

Wanna learn how to bead-knit?
I'm going to teach bead-knitting at Handmade in Wellington.
I will do two classes – one on Saturday 1 June and one on Sunday 2 June.
I don't know the time yet but the programme for Handmade will be published on 26 March and then you can go in and book all the classes you would like to take!
In my class you will learn how to bead-knit and we will make a brooch
just like the ones below.

Tadaah!
In the holidays I did my first experiments with yarn blanks. I sent the yarn to my sister who knitted some sock samples for me and here they are!
Two examples of the very cool effects you can get when dyeing blanks. The blank was double thread which means you get identical socks! And as you can see, 100grams is enough for a pair of socks and you can make them longer if you like.
Pretty neat, eh?
Stay tuned for my next dye lot, this time it's 100% BFL sock yarn and it came out just amazing!! I'm winding it up now and will post photos very soon.

Stripes for tiny feet
Remember Alice's funky, stripy socks a few posts ago?
She has now used some leftover yarn to make the cutest little baby socks!
Both pairs from one skein of Happy-go-knitty self-striping BFL sock yarn.
Babies can have colourful stripy socks too!
