They disappeared.

I was getting ready to create this post, and was moving photos of the final test dye for my DFW Fiber Fest class, when >poof!< they all disappeared.  I've tried everything for recovery, with no luck.  Same thing happened when I took a class a couple years ago, and I was even sadder because those I cannot reproduce.

So this is the remains of the test dye, and descriptions of what went before:  I wanted to show the difference between dyeing half a skein, and half a knitted blank.  I took two blanks that are failures from a use-in-class viewpoint (because of dropped stitches, due to a tensioning issue, and two skeins in the original hank.  I had one pellet left from a set of easter egg dyes, and didn't remember the colour, but it should go with light blue.

When dissolved in vinegar the dye was deep blue, so I thought it would be blue, but no, it was purple:

As you can see, it dyed them to a light purple that is not as visible when the yarns are wound.  That's what I wanted to show, the difference between dyed-in-skein and dyed-in-knitted-blank for the end results:

Wound balls underneath the same put-ups.  Notice how much
larger the hanked yarn ball is - I had to finish it by hand.

Luckily I have one of each format that I had dyed with neon green, so it's more vivid, to show how they look wound, although I don't have a matching set of hank and knitted.  That's why I made the others, to show the before-and-after in class:

In each of the above, the hank is on the left and the knitted blank is on the right.  You can also see the effect of the yarn being knitted and wound, or in the hank and wound.

I also have the three-colour ball from an earlier test dye batch.  Some of the yarns from that batch became pennants for the bunting at DFW Fiber Fest, and I realized after I mailed them that I forgot to take a photo.  I hope to get a snapshot of them onsite.
