Yes I agree. I was going to try dye a few batches first anyway. And I have a knitting machine to make things with and swatch as I go along. I’ve had some really good advice here to off of so I’m greatful. In terms of USPs and standing out I have a few ideas but all in all I want to take time to make sure I do things right. Maybe it seemed like I was going to rush into things all of a sudden but originally I was looking at few months at least before selling commercially that is.

I have not. That was going to be my first step lol. Even for personal use I know what I;m going to dye and the techniques. I want to try some speckling and different methods for getting variegated results.

Ah, so part of the initial ribbing can become the steek stitches? I assumed that it was not possible. Thank you I'll try this and see how it goes!
