rubber ducky, you're the one.

Rubber Ducky

i dyed this yarn on saturday, for the really nice lady at my LYS. i have no details on it, it was something she picked up at stitches west. i do know it's superwash merino (dk weight), and there's about 600 yards of it. i used wilton's icing dyes in x-mas red and lemon yellow. *warning* x-mas red is in fact orange! this is not the result i was going for, but it still looks pretty great. i used a dip dye-ing method where you put one end of the hank in the pot, and let the dye soak up, as it does it fades. i dipped the lighter color first (yellow), let it cool and then dipped the darker (red). whaddayouguysthink?
