I chose plum, stone, autumn sky, sage and turmeric. It really was very easy to do, and no mess either, which can't be bad. I'd actually put on my scruffiest clothes that day and was dreading someone coming to the door!! I dyed one skein using autumn sky and sage, and the second using plum and stone. Here are the results! Ta-dah!!!!!!!
The bluey-green one I've called Lagoon and the plum and brown one is Chocolate Cherries. I think they look quite nice, of course the proof of the pudding will be the eating, or in this case, the knitting. They might pool terribly! We shall see! I have some other dyes that I'll have a little play around with this week. I'll be back tomorrow to show you some spinning! Bye! xxx
Well done you.I love the colour combinations.can't wait to see them knitted up.
ReplyDeleteOooh gorgeous. I have some undyed laceweight but have never built up the nerve to attempt to dye it, perhaps I should give it a go.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's brilliant, and you picked lovely colours. Did you take any "in progress" photos, because I'd love to see the process in action.
