Singles!
I've received my merino singles. The base is beautiful, and it takes the dye beautifully and quite differently. It has a slight halo/fuzz that takes most of the dye, which gives a lot of depth to the colours.
It is a high twist single and it looks a bit overplied to me. I wish I had access to the regular single. I will try to knit with it. I've read that the kinks sort themselves out when knitted and I don't doubt it. It is a very popular base.
I've dyed a pale pink and an attempt at taupe. I'm not sure it is actually taupe but I like it.

So, what is this colour anyway? Would you call it dusty pink, brown, or what?
