Three beautiful options
When the temperatures start to soar here in Pittsburgh, I find my thoughts drifting away to the seaside, and imagining the the relaxing rhythm of cool ocean waters breaking against the shore. In my mind, I can see the whitecaps as each wave crests, and hear the refreshing sound as hits the beach and collapses into fizzy white foam, rolling back down the sand as the next wave rises. The deeper water is deliciously cool in deep blues and greens, that fade as it shallows and lap at my toes…
To recreate this quick escape to the sea, we carefully blended our dyes into three mixes: a deep and slightly dusty oceanic blue, a clear sea green, and a perfectly neutral sky grey. Then we laid the skeins into the dyepots and created a painterly effect by gently layering the dye mixtures onto them one at a time. We started with the blue first, and watched as it struck the yarn boldly in some places and dispersed itself unevenly, to create some patches where the colour was bold and others where it was diluted. Then we applied the sea green in a much more precise way, to create clear pops of colour in your project. And finally, we poured the softest wash of the grey – you might hardly even notice it – to add depth to the finished colourway.
For a semi-solid coordinating colourway, we calmed the sea down by allowing the skeins to soak in that same blue, this time softened in the dyebath, and then blended with a wash of that lovely grey to create depth. And for a more graphic coordinating colourway, we intensified that stormy grey, layering it along the skeins, and then pouring over just a hint of the blue before adding in a very intense moment of that gorgeous sea green. The result is a collection of colourways that beautifully reflect the sea in its many moods: a perfect-wave day at the beach, a calm day of soft blue seas, and a grey day with stormy seas.
And what do you need whenever you hit the seaside? A great bucket-bag to sling over your shoulder and carry everything from your beach towel and suit, your water bottle, maybe a quick change of clothes… and of course, with plenty of space for your project, no matter its size. I love how this bag is big enough for anything summer throws at you and perfect to tag along where-ever you go. And always with our happy SpaceMonster to keep you company!
