Non-exciting poll about yarn - Update

[oregonpachey]

Give me a minute to add the pictures on Tapatalk.

I am entering a yarn dyeing contest and can only choose one skein. Which do you like best?

4/4 update: Thank you everyone for your input.  I ended up entering the avocado colored yarn.  There were so many beautiful entries this year and I didn't make the finals.

Gray!

[cricketwife]

I really dislike the grey. (As someone who is not crafty at all, just someone judging out of her own ignorance.) I really like both the avocado and the peach a lot. I voted for the peach because at the moment it gives you a winner. A vote for avocado would have made for a 3-way tie, though I probably would have voted for it otherwise.  ETA - ha! This is no longer true! Switching to avocado! 🥑 
Good luck!

The peach shows off your delicate speckles the best. I say that as a knitter with a capital K. They're all very lovely

[Captain Catnip]

The great reminds me of the Iron Butterfly colorway from Spirit Trail Fiberworks. Love it

[statgirl]

Put-up I like the grey. Unwound, the avocado. The hank shows the coloration better in the grey and the avocado tonality signs unwound. I am no help.

I picked avocado this time (I particularly like the delicate grapey-red accents), but they're all pretty great! I bet the gray would be really fabulous woven in plain/tabby.

Are there some specific parameters you're working with in the contest that made you pick these three, though? Because you've definitely dyed more in your face awesome colorways if it's a free for all kind of contest. <3

It has to be knit in a base that Knomad makes. I wish I could enter my mini sets but they don't count! Most of my super bright yarns are from a different supplier otherwise I would probably choose one of my black reverse dyed ones.

Ha! I knew it had to be something!

These are awesome, though- good luck!!

Grey! So pretty.

Never been a knitter, but I worked at Joann’s lol

[basilosaurus]

Before I saw the pictures I thought gray with speckles was the most promising, but I really like the green. A lot.

[joy]

I really like them all. But, the avocado colors and name together are perfect. I scrolled to it thinking “green” then saw the shade with brown accents as was like “yes!”

[pooh8402]

I'm a hooker and learning to knit, and have dabbled in yarn dyeing as well.

I love all 3 but I chose the avocado for the variation in colors. The gray with speckles is super pretty and totally my style but it's also very popular and, imo, a bit overdone. The peach is also really pretty and was a very close second for me.

[gummybear]

I think this is exciting, FTR. I voted last night and picked green. I never like green but that is just beautiful and striking. Second choice is peach. All this is funny bc grey is my favorite color, lol.

[stemmie]

If I were shopping, the green would be coming home with me.

[wildrice]

I love the peach! I think you did a great job on all of them, though (for what it's worth as someone who knows nothing about knitting or dying yarn, lol)

[notreal]

The avocado is a stunning color and beautiful and would have my vote, EXCEPT, I know nothing about yarn dying but the contrast between the base color and the accents in the gray are more noticeable and apparent at least in the pictures you posted, you can tell those accents are present in the other colors, but it's not the first thing you notice. If having those pops of color are a sign of skill, then I would pick the gray one because I would want to make sure everyone could see how hard I worked and how awesome I am.

I hope I explained that right. I think they are all cool and all took work, but I would submit whichever one shows off the work (and maybe I am wrong and getting a rich color is the most impressive in the yarn world and then you would of course choose the avocado)

[schrodinger]

I voted grey because I think the accent colors are the perfect contrast, but they really are all lovely.

Will the vote be online? You should post the link if it's a public vote!

[BlondeSpiders]

I love the green but I would not call it avocado. Looks like a rich, jungle green to me.

[yaga]

I really like the green, especially in the skein.

Do you have an etsy shop or something you can share?!

[tacokick]

I think the green looks the best photographed.

I think both 1 and 2 are super pretty. I picked 1 because of the range of the colors in it, but 2 I think the color itself is prettier. I had no idea that yarn dying contests were a thinkg, neat. Good luck!

I think I may get the avocado to make my boyfriend some socks!

Oh wow!  You have some beautiful colors!!  I haven't knitted in a while, and I hope that maybe I can start back up this year once we things settled at our new house and then I can buy some in the future!
