I made Peacock Eyes to go with Peacock Feathers, but of course it works great on its own as well. It's a splashed and speckled colorway with all the colors you find in the "eye" of peacock feathers. It has a medium blue background with chocolate, turquoise, sapphire blue, and navy blue.
I dyed this colorway on Stained Glass Sock, which is a smooth, soft 2-ply yarn made of 80% superwash merino and 20% nylon. The thing that makes Stained Glass Sock uniquely wonderful is that one ply is made of white wool while the other alternates between black and white, so when I dye the yarn, it looks like leaded stained glass. Each 100 gram skein has 400 yards.
