Dye tests

In the midst of toddler meltdowns and dog accident clean-ups, I took some time to play in the kitchen with some yarn and dye. Not a proper acid dye, of course, but food coloring. Much like dyeing easter eggs, wool dyes with food coloring, too. A little color, a little vinegar, and a little patience goes a long way.

Hopefully I can recreate these colors this weekend on the “good stuff” – the sock yarn and spinning fiber tossed so haphazardly into the corners of the craft room. And then, of course, make them into pretty things.
