I love the idea of wider bands of color and gradual color changes. Recently I started experimenting with sock blanks. I take my base yarns and knit a skein into a sheet of fabric on my Bond knitting machine. then I apply the dye and steam for 20-30 minutes to set the color.
The first picture is a dyed sock blank using my Simply Sock base yarn. The finished pair was knit from a sock blank made up from my Simply Merino base. I've been very pleased with the results and am looking forward to turning some more base yarns into knitted blanks and branching out to knitting other projects with those blanks!
