"We spoke on the phone a few months ago prior to the start of Mystery Shawl 10. I ordered the Black Cherry yarn and am finishing up Clue #3 today. It looks gorgeous!
Anyway, just wanted to tell you how many compliments I have received on your yarn. I've given everyone your website info and hope they place orders. I am truly enjoying working with your yarn on this project and can't wait to order more.
Thank you again, and Happy Knitting!" June F

After trying out 2 socks on one circular needle, during which I became rather confused and my knitting muddled, I decided to try another tack on second sock syndrome. Leap Frog. Now I divide the skein into 2 balls, start one sock and continue until a change is needed. I then go back and bring the second sock to that change point and then go on with the first, bringing the second up to it each time. Much more interesting, with the results that both get done almost at the same time.
Here is a link to instructions for casting on to knit 2 socks at once on one circular needle.

Celebrate Diversity!
All our colorways are created in small dyepots containing only 3- 5 skeins each. While we use the same dyes to color each lot of a particular colorway, we cannot guarantee a perfect match from one batch to another, nor do we number them. Part of the beauty of hand dyed yarn is the uniqueness of each skein, similar but not equal. Some batches are darker or lighter than others. Your yarn is one of a kind!
For a more overall blended effect we suggest: Socks: Wind the skein into a ball, knit the cuff of each sock first, then proceed to knit the legs, heels and feet. Baby Sweater /Shawl or other garments: Please purchase 2-4 skeins at one time to ensure your project is being made from yarn dyed in the same dyepot.

"Hi, Susan: I received my Paintbox yarn order yesterday! It is absolutely gorgeous! The colors blend together so beautifully - every color of the rainbow. I can't say enough about the wonderful job you've done. I plan to make a pullover top that I can wear all year long because the colors are great for all seasons, aren't they? I'll try to get a picture whenever it's finished. Thanks again for a job well done. Connie A"

The yarn arrived today and it's even more beautiful than it looked on screen. Thank you for the color magic! I am bringing a few of the skeins to the Christmas party so that sister in law can choose which one she wants for her fingerless gloves. Thanks again," Stephanie W
