Hand painted yarn

Oh how I love the hand-painted yarns from Malabrigo and Madelintosh !! Wish I could have lots of them in my stash, but the prices are too high to buy these in bulk. So, instead, I thought of trying to hand paint some yarn for myself and see how it turns out. Here is the result of what  I've been upto last evening

It is a total of about 400g ( about 1464 yds), and I know just what I want to knit with it. Now the big question is.....when do I start !!!
