Today’s SBQ was suggested by Dawn and is:
If you had to choose, would you rather spend money on overdyed floss or hand-dyed fabric?
Eegads! What a question! What a choice! The short answer to this question is that I can’t choose. However, in keeping with the spirit of the SBQ I will try.
Let’s start with hand-dyed fabric. I love hand-dyed fabric. I have dyed my own and since January of this year I have belonged to Silkweaver’s FOM club. However, as much as I love those pretty pieces of fabric, I have to admit that when I start a new project I seldom choose one of them.
As for overdyed floss… Well, it seems to have grown on me over the past couple of years. The first time I tried overdyed floss I wasn’t that impressed, but I gave it another chance and after that I was hooked. I don’t have a complete set of any of the overdyed flosses so one problem I have right now is when a pattern calls for WDW, GAST, etc., I don’t necessarily have all the required floss at my fingertips. I love that my lack of overdyes give me a reason to order stash, but I hate that when I want to start something that calls for them I have to order the floss and then wait for it to arrive.
That said, at this moment in time if I had to choose I think I would probably spend money on overdyed floss rather than hand-dyed fabric… that way I could at least complete my collections of WDW and GAST.
