Hello my dears!
Searching the web I often saw gorgeous hand dyed yarn. These colouring amaze my imagination - these are so unusual and different, that's way one day I felt that I really really really want to make MY hand dyed yarn. I never do it. But I really wanted to do it! I found at home only one skein of undyed Latvian wool, about which I've written here. I went to the usual food store and bought there food colourings. There were only three colors - yellow, red and green.
And that's what I did...
I'm so proud of my work!!!
I was very thrilled and excited making it... I was running around my kitchen as a child... Time after time my DH(Dear Husband) was in a kind giggling at me... :-)
But I still don't know what could I do with them... I made a couple of motives only, just to see a colour pattern.
I forgot to tell you that before I started to dye my wool I spent a lot of time searching the Web to get an infomation how-to-do. And of course I share with you a couple of links without which I wouldn't have done my first hand dyed wool. Look here the best description for me, and look here and here also.
Do you want to try to do it? I advise you! You will get a lot of fun!
I wish a good week for you!
Olga

The colours have turned out brilliant. I thought that food dye would wash out of the yarn, or at least get really pale after washing. I had better have an experiment too. What sort of yarn did you use as the base?

This is so fun! Have done it time ago, and remember was told to use vinegar after dying, so colors won't fade. Don't know if it's true thou ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Helen! The yarn I used is 100% undyed wool.
ReplyDeleteThank you Siga! I have used a vinegar while I was dye my yarn.
That looks GREAT Olga - well done you!
