:hmm
I really like it.
what dont you like about the lime?

[cozystitches]

It's LIME..ok..I'm not a fan of lime..lol...does it look bad those three together?? That's the big issue...am still considering overdyeing (again) that lime to something..but I don' tknow...if ya like it that much, pm me..I'm willing to sell..lol

I hate it when that happens! but usually as much as I *think* I don't like my dye job.. I can usually either tweak it a bit or it ends up I really like it, except it wasn't what I was trying for.

Overdying is a little unpredictable. You could overdye with a dark blue... that might look interesting.

I think the lime looks good. The darker blue balances out the bright colors.

btw I do like it as it is..

Hey All,

I'm still debating on selling the yarn (bad isn't it?) So for those of you who PMed me I'm thinking. This yarn is actually for a swap of other dyers. The yarn is 4oz of LB Fisherman's dyed with washfast dyes. The colors in themselves (the purple and green specifically) are not "even" but verigated in themselves...so..I'll let you know if I do decide on selling..lol..this colorway is actually starting to grow on me...

Hugs,
tammy

I think it's really beautiful too :) I know that Davina dyed some yarn that came out sort of lime-y green and she was also going for sage. She overdyed it with a little brown and it did come out sage. Let me see if I can find the post.

I really like the colorway as is! I think the intensity of the hues matches well and that if you overdye with grey or brown to make the green more "sage" that it will look unbalanced.

But that's just my opinion.

:) :) You guys are sweet. :) :) I am going to leave the yarn as it is (I may condition it to soften it up). It's for a swap, so if you want some of this yarn, I'll dye you some, just lmk. :)
