Cormo 2.0 Spirit Trail Solace

Having watched Spirit Trail Fiberworks' Jennifer Heverly dye Lot 3 of the Great White Bale, and having coveted her work with this yarn's 1.0 predecessor (Sapphire and Wisteria), I made a point of setting aside a small batch of Cormo 2.0 to see what she would do here. Specifically, I wanted to see how Cormo 2.0's looser, loftier construction would respond to Jennifer's intensely physical hands-on dyeing technique.  Interestingly enough, there was less of a textural/behavioral change between the undyed and dyed yarns than in the previous yarns. While the plies did wobble slightly, the canvas stayed relatively smooth, absorbing the colors beautifully and reflecting them back in a richness that almost glows.  In Solace you have a calm and comforting seascape of faded blues that shift in and out of saturation. Depending on where your skeins get pulled from the lot, they may even have a splash of sunshine in them. A Note about Color: These are hand-dyed in the true sense of the word. Colo
