Last weeks rolags have been spun into about 65 yards of chain-plied worsted-ish weight yarn.
It’s a nice oatmeal color, and quite squishy. I thought it might be fun to use up some of my KoolAid leftovers from January to turn some of it a nice olive green. Partial packets of Orange (3g) Lemon-Lime (2g) and Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade (4 g)
DyeBath mixed and yarn pre-soaking
In the microwave-
and after sitting a few minutes, all color transferred to the wool. It was interesting that the colors seemed to fix to the fiber at different rates. Blue was the slowest, but given a little extra time, it all taken up and the desired color achieved.
And here we have our dyes and natural shades side by side.
This oatmeal color base will fun to use in more dyeing experiments over the summer!
That is cool how the timing of the dyeing is different. How fun!
