A mission to match a skein of yarn I dyed a few months ago, led to lots of fun trying to come up with the perfect red and green.
James and Jesse were handy helping hands in the entire project.
The dye gets mixed up outside because I'm a safety person like that. Using ProChemical dyes means there are some fumes and minute amounts of dye particles that I may inhale. To be absolutely safe, I suppose I could have tossed on my respirator, but I didn't. The smoke you see is steam from the hot water.
The skein of Lambs Pride Bulky turned out NOTHING like I was trying to recreate. In fact after doing my rainbow dyeing I was not happy with it and dunked the entire skein in water to get these muted colors. I LOVE it. What can I say? My favoritest things are usually mistakes.
A bonus skein of Lambs Pride Burly spun kettle dyed a gorgeous Wedgewood blue. Who doesn't love wool?!
