BUTTERFLY COLLECTION SET - Hand-Dyed Yarn on Stained Glass Sock

When I first started using the Stained Glass Sock yarn base, I loved the idea of creating a collection of colorways using actual butterflies as the inspiration. This listing is for a set of all five current butterfly colorways together as shown in the photo.

From left to right the colorways are:

• Zebra Longwing (Splashed & Speckled Colorway)
  
• Indian Jezebel (Assigned Pooling Colorway)
• Quino Checkerspot (Splashed & Speckled Colorway)
• Monarch (Tonal Colorway)
• Colorado Hairstreak (Assigned Pooling Colorway)

I designed them to make a great fade project. I have included some knitting pattern suggestions below.

I dyed these exclusively on Stained Glass Sock, which is a soft and squishy 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--or in this case the black lines in butterflies' wings. Each 100 gram skein has 400 yards.
