While I was dyeing top for my Etsy shop:

I made a mistake dyeing some superwash/nylon top. I had the heat too low and the dye didn't exhaust. I rinsed it so many times that I messed up the fiber preparation and felt it was not sale-able. I drum carded it into some batts.
I was still a little concerned about the turquoise's potential bleeding so I spun it up myself. The nylon and superwash combination makes it a perfect yarn for socks. I struggled with the nylon slipping and not catching into the yarn as well as wool (or any natural fiber I've worked with so far). When I went to ply the yarn, I had only one break and I ended up with something I love.
I have one more skein to spin and I should have enough for a pair of socks.
