Note from Sundara...A few months ago, I said I wanted to do a "looser" interpretation of inspiration photos, and today is one of those days. I've loved this photo for years, but could never figure out how to dye it up as yarn. I've been looking for something that feels autumn-y, because apparently I'm over summer and summer colors, and this seemed to work. I may have gone a little overboard with veering into autumn.
The two fingering merino skeins were dyed exactly like the two skeins of lace silky alpaca, so if you've ever wanted to knit something coordinating with these yarns, now is your chance. The two darker colors are like a delicious black cherry. Or stormy clouds at sunset over flamingos, as the case may be. The browns are underlaid with flamingo pink, so they have all sorts of rich, saturated color going on that makes them much more fun and "glowy" than your average brown. The darker black-red goes amazing with the brown, if you want to pair them up, but the individual colors look smashing together on their own.
"The Midnight Flamingos" will not be dyed again. Updated: 3 skeins of the browns left.
