This is the skein that also changed my mind. Not long ago several dyers whose blogs I read like Scout and Dave Daniels Cabin Cove posted polls to see how we would like them to present their yarn. The primary question was should they reskein so the color changes show or leave it as above so the chunks of color show.I was a reskein gal until I purchased this one. Seeing the hues of blue, purple, and pink I think have given me a better idea of what it will look like worked up. Not to mention I just love the way the colors look against each other. When I do finally get around to working with this yarn, I'm thinking socks. My first try at crocheted socks. It will be a while, though. For now...pet yarn. =-D

Wow, that is a beautiful hank. I think a big part of buying yarn is to admire it. This must be true or we all wouldn't have such huge stashes!
Oooooh. Pretty!
Isn't Heather's yarn fantastic? I think we should make a Sereknity Groupie club. Beautiful!
I like both unskeined and reskeined...depending on the colorway.
hahaha! glad you hold it in such esteme! i struggle with the to-skein-or-not-re-skein question al the time. I like to take pictures for listins in both forms to give folks an idea of what they are looking at. As for that one, it is named Berry Blast. Inspired by candy. YUM.
Yummy yarn! Pet yarn ... is that my problem? If I had cats, would I knit with my yarn instead of hoarding and petting it? Oh wait, YOU have cats. Doesn't help...
BTW, I much prefer to see the relative quantity of each color in an UNreskeined skein (huh?).
Very pretty! I always keep it in the original skein for as long as possible...the better to cuddle with it.
Yes, that probably is a little odd.
I do the same as Erica and keep in the original pretty skeins/hanks as long as I can...
And I second Gina on the Sereknity Groupies!
