Since I learned how to knit socks a few years back I have become slightly obsessed with hand dyed yarn. I have come across many amazing hand dyers over the last few years and after making my Loki blanket which you can read about here I really wanted to make another mini skein blanket but in a different style. I fell in love with Sherry Iris Yarns in particular a couple of years ago. Sherry puts together such beautiful colours and presents them in such a lovely way and I really look forward to seeing her images on socials. I decided at the end of 2022 that I would sign up to one of her yarn clubs, the first time I had collected yarn in this way, and was really drawn to her Botanist Club she had running for 2023. Each instalment would have a bundle of five mystery 20g mini skeins on a botanical theme such as snowdrops, roses, trees etc. I really enjoyed receiving them in the post each month, a little surprise gift to myself! A few people have lets just say ‘passed comment’ on the cost of hand dyed yarn. As I mentioned in my Loki blog post, hand dyed yarn isn’t cheap however I don’t smoke, very rarely drink, don’t go to big music concerts and am far from a fashion victim so this yarn club was my little treat to myself and collecting via a club is a good way to spread the cost. This is a special project specifically for me and I wanted the yarn to also be special. You don’t have to use hand dyed yarn, use whichever yarn suits your budget at the time, or just use your scraps, it’s a great scraps project. The club finished at the end of 2023 and by then I had collected 65 mini skeins! Now I needed to decide what to do with them all! I had a vision of making a patchwork style blanket and I considered standard granny squares and solid granny squares before settling on little C2C (corner to corner) squares. Here's my video tutorial showing you how to make a little C2C square...... Little C2C square I dislike sewing squares together immensely so I am joining my C2C squares as I make them, it's very simple once you get the hang of it! Here's my video tutorial showing you how...... Join as you go for C2C squares I don't know yet how big my blanket will end up or how many squares there will be. I get asked often questions like 'how many squares do I need for a particular size blanket?' or 'how many squares can I make out of a particular amount of yarn?' and I'm afraid I'm not generally one to do all these analytics, I often just go with the flow and with this blanket I will just keep making and joining squares until I run out of yarn! If you are a planner and want to work out how many squares to make for a given size then the best thing to do is make one out of your chosen yarn, measure it and weigh it and you'll then know roughly how many to make and how much yarn you'll need. I'm thoroughly enjoying working on this blanket! Some days I make one square, some days I make more, it's so easy to just pick up and put down and I'm excited to see it develop over the coming months.......I will update the blog as things progress I hope you have found this blog post and videos useful. All my content is provided FREE however if you would like to support the time involved in producing the blog and videos and appreciate the information I share you can do so by 'buying me a coffee.' Alternatively you could share a post from my socials, or perhaps one of my videos to help me get the word out :) Happy crocheting! Faye x

I designed the Humdrum Helix Hat Pattern to make use of small amounts of yarn. Until I started digging through my plant dyed yarn, I hadn't realised quite how much was stashed away. The oldest skeins at the bottom of the basket were varying weights of Texere 100% wool, which I used to buy by the cone before I started spinning. Since many of them predate this blog, I've no record of what plants I used for dyeing this selection, though the shades of beige reminded me how often I accidentally boiled dye baths, mysteriously failed to get the colours I expected or found they faded fast. Helical hat knitting is quick and easy and quite fun. When my brother asked for a hat for Christmas, it sounded like a perfect stash busting opportunity - until he said he would like lots of colours. Well, beige is a colour, in my wool basket, 'beige' covers quite a variety of colours, so I gathered up ten balls of double knitting weight Texere wool and decided to see how they would look all knitted into one helix. With a gauge of 18 stitches to 10 cm, I cast on 90 stitches from the largest skein, aiming for a 50cm hat circumference. After knitting 8cm of brown brim, I added another colour every 9 stitches, working the same method as the original pattern for four colours. I was soon spending more time untangling yarn than I was knitting it. Things went better working with all the balls on a flat basket in my lap, periodically turning the whole basket in the reverse direction to the knitting. Having such frequent colour changes requires a little more concentration than I gave this hat. Once or twice, I must have missed a colour change and picked it up in the next round, because the sequence of stripes changes. Nonetheless, I was pleasantly surprised by how how much interest and subtlety the stripes of beige added to each other and how well they enhanced the brighter colours. The accidental changes of sequence also gave me pause for thought about the importance of which colours are put next to each other. Once I got to the reductions for the crown, I reduced five stitches each round by knitting one then knitting 2 together on the even colour changes in one round and the odd numbered colour changes in the next. Having ten colours makes a far more dramatic helix than only four. It also means you need very little yarn in each colour - apart from the brim, there only has to be enough of each to knit five rounds. Having plenty of small skeins to use up, I've decided all my male relatives are getting a helix hat for Christmas this year. Plus four bottles of excellent Welsh microbrewery beer. Here's the next Happy Helix, there's yarn for many more to come.

Bulky Weight Yarn (100% Superwash Merino Wool) hand dyed in a rainbow of colors - 100 g There sometimes doesn't seem to be enough color in the world. My husband often gives me this advice when I ask which shirt or pillow I should buy; He says choose the one with lots of color. And this yarn has so many colors that it make me smile. This is unicorn mane! Fiber Content: 100% Fine Superwash Merino Wool Weight: Bulky Weight (5) Knitting Gauge: 3 - 3.75 sts = 1" on #10- 11 needles (6.0mm- 8.0mm) Crochet Gauge: 8 - 11 sc = 4'' on K - M hooks (6.5mm - 9mm) Yards: Approximately 137 Care: Machine Wash Gentle Cold / Tumble Dry Low or for best results lay flat to dry Dye Type: Jacquard Acid Dyes Each skein of yarn is a work of art created by me through a variety of techniques including kettle dyeing, dip dyeing, and hand painting. I hand wash the yarn at least 3 times after the dyeing process is complete to ensure that it does not bleed. However, there is always the possibility that some bleeding may occur when first washed and you may wish to use a Shout color catcher as a preventative measure. Directions for balling your yarn to use: 1. Untwist the hank. 2. Lay the hank so it circles the back of a chair or lay it flat on a table and position four vegetable/soup cans in the center of the loop pushing the yarn outward. 3. Cut or untie any string that was used to hold the yarn together and then carefully untie the beginning and end of the yarn from each other. 4. Take whichever end seems to be on top and begin to wind the yarn into a ball. I do my best to photograph the true colors of the yarn. I have included a close up, a light background, and a dark background to show the yarn. However, screen monitors may vary and therefore the color of your yarn may be slightly different than what you viewed. Please also know that I do have a poodle and cats in case you have allergies. IF YOU NEED THE YARN ASAP! Please reach out to me and I will be more than happy to help with the request. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to message me. I am also happy to custom dye a yarn for you using a picture or a particular color request. Thanks and be cozy, Diana
