Faded Manos

Faded Manos
Originally uploaded by Mandy K.

A couple years ago Elizabeth and I decided not to buy yarn for one year. A couple days before that year started we made a preparatory visit the Abbot Yarn Shop. I got some Manos, four skeins of the same colorway.

Here is
My So-Called Scarf. It shows the colors very well. It also shows how one of the skeins faded. On the left is the faded skein. The bad news is that I have a scarf that is two very different shades. The good news is that I like the faded side better.

How then to fade the bright side? Tomorrow I plan to wash the scarf and let it dry in the sun with the faded side folded under.

Wish me luck.
