Finally
Some success with making a handpainted yarn:
I wound it off into a 2-yard hank, painted with Kool-Aid (that's ice blue, lemon-lime, watermelon cherry and pink lemonade, each with a little sprinkle of black cherry mixed in), washed, dried (Fiona wadded it up for a pillow last night) and then rewound it into a 1 1/2 yard hank.
Yes! I was mad about the color repeats looking too regular. This fixed it.
