Dye Style
Dye Style is a term we use to reference how the yarn is likely to look once it is worked up. Blots of dye on yarn are sometimes hard to imagine when it's in a hank. So we have some handy descriptions and swatches to help you consider which yarn to pick for your next project!
Singles
Seems self explanatory, it's a solid color, yet it's not. Our Single Colors are tonal-solids. In short, they have a depth, purposely. That's something a machine cannot do.
Kaleidoscopes
Here we allow the color to go where it pleases. As you turn a kaleidoscope, you see the same colors in a different fashion... That's what we created, within each hank the colors work up without uniformity or patterning. These colors will blend, but mostly they find their own small places to pool.
Half Speckled
This is an exclusive dyeing method to The Fiber Seed, created by Lindsay in 2015 with Fun Fetti. We apply a Single color (tonal) over half of the hank, then we dash specks of color (as in our Speckled collection) on the other side... Hence the name, "Half Speckled". Intentional pooling is the idea with this collection of colorways.

Watercolors
This is where a subtle Kaleidoscope meets a deep Single. In this dyeing method the color mixes organically, blending and swirling for an overall watercolor blend. This is the ultimate hand dyed yarn method that adds depth to your project without taking away from the pattern's details.
