A lot of people are doing hand-dyed yarns, but much of it is variations on the same old same old. One of the reasons I put up with Noro sock yarn is because they have such fabulous colour combinations. The yarn sucks (until it's been through the washer a couple of times) but the colours are wonderful.
My advice therefore is go for the colours: Jewel tones, darker colours, unusual combinations. And let me know where to find it!!!
