What you think of the new color?

Just finished a special order dye job for a wonderful customer and talented artist under the name of "Polymerclaybox" on Etsy. She lives in Belgium and for all of us Button Nuts you really have to check out her shop.

The yarn is from my stash of Vintage Wool Chenille Yarn that I then created a dye recipe to make a "Chartreuse" color. Not easy because you can either get too much yellow or too much green - The Dye Gods were with me Saturday afternoon. I made three extra skeins just in case someone else thought they might want some. So they will be up for sale on my Etsy shop by this afternoon. Hope they find loving new homes.

Thanks Jenny - this is such a hard color to get to come out so I was thrilled I was able to get it right for the new customer. How you doing with Mona being away??
