#beafreakingunicorn

A reinterpretation of my #beafreakingunicorn colourway from last year 🥰 I kind of like them rewound instead of right out of the pot like the second from the right.. .which do you prefer? . Felt the need to revisit my neon and that led me to old photos of one of my #bafu colourways that I created last May. $5 from each skein will be donated to @theaidsnetwork in #Hamilton in honor of the mission of our Be A Freaking Unicorn event! . Heading to @kawarthayff on Saturday! . #hamontmakers #hamont #handdyedyarn #knittersofinstagram #knitting #handdyed #indiedyer #yarn #knitstagram #crochet #yarnaddict #yarnporn #sockyarn #indiedyedyarn #knit #indiedyersofinstagram #knittingaddict #handdyedyarns #handmade #indiedyers #indiedyersofig #instaknit #stitchnoir #canadianmade🇨🇦 (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceg9EJBJVkw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Do you all remember this unicorn sock blank I was working on? Swipe to see it completed in both cake form and skein form! 🦄🦄🎉 . I planned to sell it as a cake because I figured that would show the gradient quite well but it turns out that 275 grams of sock yarn does not a pretty yarn cake make, at least not on my ball winder! 🤣😂 Although I did manage to fake the pretty for a photo! . So it is now in skein form! And what wasn't apparent from the initial picture is that it was a two-sided sock blank so the gradient goes from a neon yellow to the darker purple and black and then back to me on yellow again! . This is going to make an awesome #beafreakingunicorn project! Now I just have to be patient and hold on to it until May 1st! LoL 😍🦄 . #bafu #iywtbaubafu #beafreakingunicorn #hamontmakers #hamont #handdyedyarn #gradient #knittersofinstagram #knitting #handdyed #indiedyer #yarn #knitstagram #crochet #yarnaddict #yarnporn #sockyarn #indiedyedyarn #knit #indiedyersofinstagram #knittingaddict #handdyedyarns #handmade #indiedyers #indiedyersofig #instaknit #stitchnoir (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNVpSunpWsi/?igshid=1f7b3nnxgikd9

So the question was....can I create a #beafreakingunicorn yarn on non-superwash local yarn? The answer.....YUP!!! 😁❤ 🦄 . The second question I pose to you....would folks be interested in a non-superwash local option for the @beafreakingunicorn project? . @twinoaksfarmfiber has the most amazing yarns....I decided to test some neons on her Romney/BFL DK and here is the result! The left in each photo is on a natural grey base, and the right is on a white base. I actually really like how the grey saddens the colours...it gives them more an organic feel than a neon-in-your-face feel....but both are pretty awesome! . Portions of all unicorn sales will go to a local LGBTQ organization and @twinoaksfarmfiber has kindly offered to partner with me for the project! 😍 So I am gauging interest....yay or nay? What say you? 😁 . #bafu #iywtbaubafu #beafreakingunicorn#hamontmakers #hamont #handdyedyarn #handdyed #indiedyer #yarn #knitstagram #crochet #yarnaddict #yarnporn #indiedyedyarn #knit #indiedyersofinstagram #knittingaddict #handdyedyarns #handmade #indiedyers #indiedyersofig #localwool #nonsuperwashyarn https://www.instagram.com/p/CNSpY4qpcx5/?igshid=j3spice8jr1y
