If you’re new to hand-dyed yarns, here are some tips to help you select the perfect skein:
Check the Fiber Content – Consider how the fiber will behave. Merino wool is soft and warm, while silk blends offer a lovely sheen.
Consider Color Pooling – Some hand-dyed skeins create beautiful variegated effects, while others blend more smoothly.
Buy Enough Skeins – Since hand-dyed yarn is produced in small batches, colors may vary slightly. Purchase enough for your project to ensure consistency.
Experiment with Different Patterns – Hand-dyed yarns shine in simple stitch patterns that allow the colors to take center stage.
