So I tried an experiment of dyeing some cotton yarn with RIT dye. I have yet to knit some up and see how much it fades with washing, but will be updating on that when I do. This is the wine colored rit dye on a natural colored cotton by peaches n cream. It's a little over 2 ounces -- I think I'll be making wrist warmers for our band's first show with it. It turned out not as well as one might have hoped because I got impatient and just wanted it to be DONE already, and thus only left it in the dye for about a half hour. Plus, I twisted the hank, which was dumb. Anyway, here it is:
It's also a little darker here than in reality because I took this pic before it was fully dry. It's a nice dark pink color -- not really wine colored at all. Probably has to do with not leaving it on long enough again.
