Sure enough once I wound the ball up it was indeed much more green than blue or yellow. Still it was an important lesson learned. I decided to continue to work the tie as intended even if the colors where not what I thought they would be.

The final results with Jacquard Yellow Sun
Today I have more final results from another dye job.
This color is the result of two blues and a yellow. the blues were done first and then I over dyed them with Jacquard Yellow Sun. I didn't really turn out as I expected, I wanted more yellow and less green. but it cant be out done. I did learn that even though when I added Yellow Sun to the dye bath, it appeared like there was not much yellow in the bath and it was too pale. So like a fool I added another 1/2 teaspoon of yellow! BAD IDEA!! The end result had much more green than intended and it was a more vibrant than I hand intended.

Hand Dyed Silk Merino The end results!
So the point of all this is to offer my customers something they can get nowhere else! So after all the dyeing I had to redesign the ties to show of the full variety of color! To the right is the first silk merino skein I dyed, it shows to full range of yellows, pinks, salmon and red. All of it very complementary without any color dominating or being out of place.
