Second Hand-Dye: Mmeh...

Yarn: Knitpicks Elegance, 1 skein (50g / 110 yds), Oatmeal Dye: Kool-aid - 3 packets Strawberry Starfruit, 2 packets Switchin' Secret

Notes:
Not really sure what my vision was for this skein, but I don't think I achieved it. the end product's not so bad, but it's quite pastelly. It reminds one of a landscaping flower.

I bought the Elegance out of curiousity, to compare it to Andean Silk as a candidate for Clapotis. Call me kooky, but I think I preferred the Andean Silk for softness and sheen. As far as dyeing goes, I suspect Elegance didn't absorb so well because the Oatmeal color was already dyed, whereas I think the Cream colorway in Andean Silk is au naturale, or close to it.

Now to figure out what to do with 1 skein of Elegance...
