you can't get more green than this
For real, right? I got this yarn a while back - luscious two-ply laceweight cashmere. Except I never knew what to make with it, because it was this hideous olive drab. Who makes cashmere in camouflage colors? I guess if my Army Reserves friend had ever been shipped out, and I was a nicer person, I could have given him a color-coordinated scarf - but that's not what cashmere was made for (sorry Droo!)
I finally got around to dyeing it. Green on green, like three times. And I got something useable, maybe, if you like green. Me, though, I always think I like it more than I actually do. This is pretty, but it's not my shade (that would be olive drab, and now we've come full circle - I couldn't bring myself to spend time on a cashmere scarf in such an ugly color.)
I didn't get a before picture, but trust me, it was not good. Kind of like this, but yarn:
I took another picture, just for fun.
It's on Etsy, right here.

ReplyDeleteExcept that it's green.
And I prefer purple.
