Dye-o-rama Meme
Your favorite colors?
Pink, red, green, blue, turquoise, yellow. I really like any Spring/Summer colors. I am not real fond of brown or purple but I do like lavender.
Preferred yarn weight (Fingering, Sport, DK, maybe even Worsted)?
None, I have favorite patterns like to work with all these yarns.
Do you prefer solid or multicolored yarn?
Solid addition: if my pal can do self striping I would rather have that over solid. But whatever is easiest will be fine :)
If your buddy is able to do so, would you like a variegated, self-striping, or self-patterning yarn?
I LOVE love of the self-striping yarns that I seen on various blogs.
Would you be interested in a wool blend sock yarn (nylon, tencel, silk, acrylic, alpaca, etc.)?
Yes
