If you’d consider adding a deep purple to these three, you’d create a Hawaiian sunset.

What a lovely colorway! Perfect to brighten a grey winter day.

Would be cool to do a rainbow with those colors on the first side and then blue/green/purple on the other since not much color went through to the other side

Patta patta pat, … love that sound when you pat down the yarn at warp speed

[micahmilne]

Wow that is so tropical fruit. It looks like it would taste like papaya and mango. I'd be very interested to see if this works with more citric acid/less color to make medium to lighter speckles!

This is gorgeous! It's one of my faves. Reminds me of tropical fruit or something tropical.

[tetroph]

I love this colorway! It reminds me of starbursts!

I am now craving cherry-pineapple popsicles like mad! <3

Lovely, gorgeous! A different shaker has yielded different results for you. When I find the perfect shaker, i will buy quite a few to have for years to come. It could be, that you design us the perfect shaker to be in comparison to using your fingers, and then when can order shakers from you.

Very nice. Reminds me of a yarn I dyed years ago at a workshop. We didn't speckle with dry dye. knit some socks and lost one. Would love to try to make it again.

Good choice of colors. This looks great!

[Pnwmommaof]

One of my fav colorways ever! These speckles are so exciting. I love it

[CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

[dianalavy]

[bjchadwick]

Absolutely gorgeous yarn! Happy, safe, and healthy new year.

[davidhensley]

Do it again with 3 reds & 2 yellows. Flames! 🔥

[elizabethmaizey]

Brilliant, just brilliant, love watching you

[hollyflyte]

I have some knit picks wool and I am afraid I will felt the yarn with the heating it.

I know I am super late to the party here but this technique only using the florescent neon dyes (fn pink, fn orange, and fn yellow) would look spectacular even if they spread a whole lot! I would love to see that.
