Also, I'm finding that red is so very hard to photograph. I have two beautiful skeins of red yarn that I've named Vesuvius. When I popped those bad boys out of the dyepot, I said 'volcano. YES.. LAVAAA.' But you can't name something ... just ... lava? Or lavaaa, for that matter. Vesuvius sounds a tad more sophisticated.
So, long story short, I tried a couple times to photograph them and they come out looking ... orange-y. Instead of lava red. I'll try again this weekend before I start googling 'how the heck do I photograph red yarn???'
Wooly Worsted -- Blue Lagoon
Wooly Sport -- Raisins
Wooly Sock -- Oh, Glorious Summer
Wooly Sock -- Dead Leaves on the Ground
Wooly Sock -- Deep Waters
Wooly Sock -- In the Middle of the Night
Wooly Sock -- Leaf Week
Wooly Sock -- Put a Lime in It
Like I said, I have two more skeins of red to try to photograph and one more skein of worsted that I'm going to overdye because it just didn't turn out the way I had hoped.
I'm hoping to have everything ready for a grand-ish opening on October 23!
These look so nice, I really like the lime one. Great names too.
ReplyDeleteI would try photographing the red in natural light. try a north facing window. Then you may have to do a little adjusting in Photoshop or whatever program you use. Reds are often tricky. Cameras seem to favor certain colours. My fushias are always way too saturated.

Thank you so much! I will try shooting in natural light.
ReplyDeletered is an absolute beeeee-yotch to photograph. try indirect light. or a little shady.
ReplyDeleteother suggestions for the lava yarn name: hot hot sexy LAVA. i think it's pretty sophisticated, as far as names go, don't you?
