Tater. The TLDR - creamy plain background, with freckly speckles in pink, blue, khaki, and a couple of other tiny randoms.
The long version.
I was terribly poorly, but needed some sock yarn STAT for an event. I used an undyed base in the pot, and added speckles from the peculiar children dye jars that I keep because while the colours are Not Good, they make good speckles. I was rather surprised that the result was Actually Good.
I put the speckles on and felt as guilty as shit. I tend to work harder, not smarter and this entirely feels like lazy work and cheating. (To be fair, the yarn is turned and speckled multiple times, it's not just one and done.)
Anyway. I went to name it, and googled 'world's laziest fish'.
The answer to this question is... Tater. He's a specific fish who is notorious in the aquarium world, apparently. Happy, Spuddy, And LAZY.
I took the yarn to the thing and people really liked my lazy yarn. So here he is again!
Kelpie is a fabulous yarn - soft superwash merino - which takes dye like a dream, combined with natural linen - which doesn't take dye at all! The result is a tweedy blended look, adding depth and interest to any colour.
This yarn is great for garments and accessories, and showcasing cables!
All skeins in this listing are from the same batch. Some colourways have many dye processes, which means each skein is a little different! I strongly recommend alternating skeins when knitting a larger item.
