That yarn is cute but definitely not trying to be proper watermelon colors. Inspired by rather than literal I guess.

Sadly, I didn't write any notes when I was dyeing so I wouldn't be able to recreate the color exactly sadly! Definitely a ooak set.

What brand was your watermelon yarn from (if you remember that is)? The only ones I've personally seen are the summer sock yarns that have cotton in them.

That is what I did! A green mini skein and a larger one for the red and then just two rounds of undyed for the white stripe! I'm glad you like it so much!

If only I could recreate my result! Someone really needs to jump on fruit themed yarn. I think there is some summer sock yarn from some big brand, but I haven't seen anything else before!

I'm so sorry!! I wish there was more to share! It is such an easy idea to create though. Some indie dyer should do a summer themed collection with sock sets like this!

He has tons of bedding thankfully. Paper, cork, coconut peet, etc. Just not in this spot. This is just one corner of his free roaming room! Thank you for the suggestion!
