As there were no better vessels for this operation to be found in the household, a cake tin had to be sacrificed, and it worked out very well.
The colours came out really bright, except for some parts of yarn inside the hank, that remained unintentionally a bit too light.
This is how the yarn looks after knitting:
Leftover dye made it into more experiments, a painted piece of lace
and plain cotton fabric (so many new ideas for making a matching wardrobe instantly coming up):
How do you fix the colors?
ReplyDeleteAdded some vinegar to the dye solution - that was written in the instructions, and also a little to the last rinse.
DeleteThank you for visiting.
And I liked that some parts of the yard are darker and some - lighter. I think that will give to a final clothing more interesting look. Does those paints cost a lot? Because I just sawIwriteessays prices and wasn't really happy.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!! They are just awesome. My wife has been knitting for some years now but has never, in all that time, used hand dyed yarn. I will tell her about this post.
