Before
After
Yes, the Pot Pourri Socks I knit in Claudia Hand Painted Yarns in fingering weight lost a lot of colour in the washing machine. I washed them in 40 Degrees Celsius. Normally I'd be upset with the loss of colour, but this time I danced (or considering my hips; treid to dance) a happy dance around the house before pinning them to dry outside.
When knitting them, I was a bit dissappointed that they turned out to be so dark and boring... Now they're much better! Almost perfect...

I'm so glad you are happier with the socks!! Enjoy wearing them!
Those are beautiful!!! You can definitely see more of the color variegation now. Enjoy your socks!!! (It makes me feel special that I actually got to be there when you cast those on--a trans-Atlantic sock connection!)
Ooh, I like them even better now, too!
I hope your hips get better. :kram: Thinking of you!
they turned out very nice
