What The Latest Colors Look Like









I unwound the skeins today and saw just what I created. I love the variegated colors and the bits of white. This wasn't quite what I was aiming at, but I like the results. Dyeing is not for the anal retentive.

Now those look really nice and eminently usable. Think you are getting to the look you want?

I love the variegated colors. Don't you just love happy accidents.

if you have access to any plastic syringes I have filled them with dye and stuck them into balls of yarn injecting the dye inside, several colors at a time. always interesting.

those look wonderful! and you will get yet another surprise when you start working them up -- the colors will stripe or pool in unexpected ways

I love doing hand dyed stuff just because there is always that unknown factor that adds to the excitement

looking forward to what you do with these next

I love the colours. What kind of dye are you using? I always forget to dye things even though I have a lot of it in the cupboard. Thanks for sharing.

I like variegated colors so much better than solids. These will have depth and interest when you knit or crochet with them.
