In any case, here goes:
The dye fest yarn I tried to make into projects.
The red one turned out great:
I made it into a beaning. Someone offered to buy the beaning off my head! Of course I didn't sell it. It's the first slouchy beanie I made with my first hand-spun, hand-dyed yarn. How could I possibly sell it? It looked like this:
The blue yarn was dyed this beautiful purple-blue, but unfortunately it was my very first skein of yarn, and it was lumpy beyond belief. The cowl I tried to make with it looked so extremely ugly I destroyed evidence of both the yarn and the project. I will pretend it never existed. I still have pictures of the yarn... so here goes:
The Dorset I hand-combed, hand-spun, and hand-dyed, I haven't used. I unsuccessfully tried to dye it two different shades of brown, and it didn't turn out well, so I overdyed it with Wilton black.
I didn't like this color break initially, but it's growing on me. I want to see what it'll knit up like, but I haven't gotten to it yet.
