Colorways shown on 75/25 superwash merino/nylon sock base (Solnit)

Recipes above are standardized and repeatable, however, hand dyed yarn will vary between batches.

Dye absorption (and final color appearance) will vary depending on yarn base's texture, thickness, twist, treatment, and natural hue:

Ursula (yak sock) is gray before dyeing so all colors will show with a darker hue
Bases containing silk can reflect a softer hue
Nonsuperwash bases take dyes in a more muted manner. Speckling on nonsuperwash bases will have less contrast and definition, and more of a watercolor effect.
The twist and thickness of the yarn will also affect how rapidly dyes and speckles are absorbed, which will affect the saturation and contrast of each color.
For more info about the myriad ways dye recipes and processes can appear differently on different fibers, check out this book: Dyeing to Spin and Knit by Felicia Lo (not an affiliate link, just a big fan!)

Wraith Tea skeins are dyed one batch at a time and are each one of a kind. They are not repeatable colorways and dye variations are part of each unique skein.
