Bomb Pop Yarn

We are not powdered-drink-mix drinkers, but I love a little Kool-ade for dyeing yarn.  I had a little yarn left over from  some kilt hose, enough, I hope for a pair of kid socks.  I’m experimenting with the concept of the sock blank.  Take two strands of yarn, knit them together into a basic rectangle (or in this case a tube, because I love to knit in the round), dye them, then pull them back apart into two balls of yarn and knit the socks.  In the best of all worlds, the socks will then have the same pattern of color changes throughout.  

That is the hope.  Where is the ice cream truck?

The sock blank in KnitPicks Bare, superwash sock weight, dyed with Cherry and Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade Kool-ade. I love that red.

The yarn was a little wubbly when I pulled it apart, so I put it through the tea kettle steam to even out matters and then onto the swift to dry.

On the swift. Yes it is made of K’nex.

These cherries hold an ice-blue secret at their hearts.
