Swapless Inspiration Swap

A while back, my friend Alicia (Purple Goddess Design) invited me to participate in a very special indie yarn swap. It is a swapless mini swap, done with inspirationally dyed skeins. 19 people join, and each person purchases a skein of yarn from the chosen indie dyer (In this case, ME! Wishfox Dyeworks) and posts a photo that they like. The dyer uses the photos as inspiration to dye each skein, and then all 19 skeins are split into mini skeins, and each participant receives one mini skein from each of the 19 colorways.

So needless to say, even in the 100+ degree heat we've been having here in KY, I've been dyeing like a mad woman, and sadly neglecting my shop updates just a bit. As of right now, there are still 2 slots left, if anyone would like to check it out or join in the fun!

Here are two of the inspiration skeins I've dyed! If you see one you love, get in touch with me, and I can dye you a full skein in any of the swap colorways :) I'll be posting photos of the others as they are dyed.

This colorway was based on the description of 
 one of our participant's dearly departed mother.










And this one was a photo of some beautiful flowers. I believe they were pansies of some sort, but I'm just a fiber artist, not a botanist!
