It's really no surprise that I love hand dyed yarn. If you read my blog regularly or look at my Ravelry project page, you'll see Madelinetosh, Malabrigo and my own hand dyed yarn all over the place. The last time I dyed yarn was last year and I had to change that. This weekend I while organizing my stash (which really could be a whole separate post), I found some yarn to dye. I also pulled out all of my dyeing accessories - gel dyes, Koolaid, jars, spoons, giant pot - you get the idea. Dyeing yarn, especially with Koolaid, is super easy and a lot of fun (here's an article from Knitty that explains the basics). My son (he's 3) even got in on the fun this time around.
Why yes, I am using my All-Clad stockpot for dyeing yarn.
Don't worry, it's all food safe, remember?
Just started!!! And I'm FULLY addicted!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are beautifully bright!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried it but it looks like fun. I love the colors you used!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cool. I have to try it too :-) Love your colors
ReplyDeleteI've never been a big dyer, but I have done some Kool Aid dyeing and it's a lot of fun. Much easier and less messier than other fibre dyeing techniques too.
