Mini Skeins: Natural or Superwash? DK, Fingering, or Lace?

Two years ago, I dyed up these mini skeins—and just look at them now! The colours are still beautifully vibrant, holding their charm as if they were fresh out of the dye pot. That’s one of the things I love about minis: they’re small but mighty, perfect for adding pops of colour, sampling techniques, or building up into something bigger and scrappier.

When it comes to minis, knitters tend to have strong preferences. Some love the rustic hand of natural wool with all its character, while others prefer the easy-care softness of a superwash blend. Then there’s the question of weight—do you lean towards DK for quick knits, fingering for versatility, or even lace for delicate projects?

I’d love to know what you think!
