Dyeing



I was invited to Liz's home where she showed me how to dye yarn. We dyed the yarn that Diana(nana) gave me for this purpose. I had a great time and may well be hooked..... I will show the yarn later when it has dried.

You can buy Liz's yarn on Etsy under Knitting On The Green.

I love dyeing fleece which I use for needelfelting. Gorgeous multicolours.
I needlefelt bears
Have you tried dyeing with food colouring, I use white vinegar to fix the dye.

Only works on wool not a mix or cotton

Love

Hee hee. You are hooked on dying yarn, too. Misery loves company, you know. I'm going to a LYS here in Florida tomorrow or Tuesday. They dye yarn, dye fleece, spin yarn. It's a wonder they don't raise the sheep, too. I may purchase a drop spindle.

You might want to think about that, too. Like I said, misery loves company.

Cant wait to see your colourful results :-)

I am glad you had fun with it, and see a new hobby in the future.

Doodling with dyes is somethng that cheers me up every time, and it is rather clean with the easter egg colours, no messes if you are prepared well :-)
