I am going to for the Yarn Pirate yarn, however. But I don't know when I'll start on those with all this holiday knitting I'm doing. I know what you mean about some of the indie dyers. I have a skein of indie sock yarn that is supposed to be pink andyellow and there were little patches of blue in it, as if some blue dye spilled on it or something. Another skein had some brown that wasn't properly mixed in and it looks like a big ole rust patch. I know. I know. I feel badly too talking about the quality of the indie dyer's work. But you're right, we are still paying top dollar and deserve a top dollar yarn. The Yarn Pirate yarn looks really good, however. I have yet to pick up size 0 needles.
