Dye-o-rama!

Looky what I got in the mail yesterday!

Acid dyes

I wanted to order some white Lanett sock yarn from the Patternworks sale to dye, but they were out. Instead, I "shopped the stash" and turned this:

Jaeger Matchmaker Merino 4-ply

Into this:

Dyed ugly colors

I think it's ugly, so I'm overdyeing it again. I learned a bit about these new dyes and overdying the original color, so that was good. After this, my plan is to convert this into a more wearable dark teal color. I'm really into teal these days because I'm a slave for fashion trends. I can't help it!

Jaeger Matchmaker Merino Dk - Asparagus

Comments

Gee, I think it looks neat. But I'm sure teal will be wonderful. And darn you for telling me about the Webs site redesign and now the Patternworks sale!
