Here are all three skeins, hanging to dry. I dyed these on Saturday.

...turned into this. This is the third skein I dyed. I used plenty of dye on this one. This is the yarn I'm going to be sending to my Dye-O-Rama Swap pal. She wanted water-y colors for a certain pattern. I like it. Again, it reminds me of the colors in the water around the Florida Keys. I was born in Key West (although, we only lived there til I was about a year old), so that's one of my favorite water examples.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my dyeing. I am now out of dye-able yarn, so I won't be doing any more for a while (I have the QP's school AND her summer day camp to pay for - which doesn't leave me with too much yarn money!).

Fabulous yarn! It looks really really beautiful and I love the colors you chose. You have a lucky dye pal!
Beautiful job way better than my first stab at dyeing. I so love a good blue!
Beautiful colorations! Those are something to be proud of!
wow, they're all beautiful. I think I actually like the one with the white the most! Lovely.
The yarn you dyed is stunning. It does remind me of the water around Key West.

Gorgeous yarn!
Wow... just the sort of colourways that I love. Those blue tones are gorgeous together. What are you going to make out of them!?
I'm just breaking out the winter woollies as winter is upon us in this part of the world, and I am hoping that next year I will have more winter woollies!
