This is the same yarn I posted the last time. To get rid of the white spots (which I hid in that photo) I dumped it into a bath of red kool aid. So now the yarn isn't pink, but reddish-pink. I'm very happy with it. You can still see some very light spots, but after carefully looking at them, I think it's safe to say they are LIGHT pink.
I reskeined this last night, which means that I took the skein I dyed and made it into a new skein that is a different size. That way the "chunks" of color don't group together, and instead the colors interact with each other. The photo isn't very true to color, it's a very light red, not orangey, but the interaction of the colors is pretty realistic.
I think I reached my goal of doing a semi-solid pretty well.
I'm finished with the gusset decreases of my Sunshine sock. Back to work now... but hopefully a more reasonable day, not 14 hours.

You know I was teasing you about the spotted yarn over the phone at the GS thing. I think having different colors like this makes the project more interesting.
Great Dye! I'm jealous of your wedged in time! That's something on my bucket list for this year and I haven't had a chance yet with LIFE happening around me. ;D
