Butterfly Collection - ZEBRA LONGWING BUTTERFLY on Stained Glass Sock - Hand-Dyed Yarn

COLORWAY
When I first started using the Stained Glass Sock yarn base, I loved the idea of creating a collection of butterfly colorways using it, and I've finally done it! 

I used a Zebra Longwing butterfly as the inspiration for this colorway. I included a photo of this beautiful butterfly. I dyed it with 1-inch sections of black followed by a section of white with the black from the yarn all around the skein.

YARN BASE
Stained Glass Sock is a soft and squishy 2-ply yarn made of 80% superwash merino and 20% nylon. The thing that makes Stained Glass Sock uniquely wonderful is that one ply is made of white wool while the other alternates between black and white, so when I dye the yarn, it looks like leaded stained glass--or in this case the black lines in monarch butterflies' wings. Each 100 gram skein has 400 yards.
