I have officially taken my knitting obsession to a whole new level. Tonight, after Magic Baby was asleep, I headed over to Jen's house for a yarn dyeing party! (Yeah, we're cool like that.) Here's how it went.
We started with Knit Picks Bare - Peruvian Highland Wool yarn.
Which we placed in a large pot of boiling water, vinegar and Jacquard Acid Dye.
After half an hour or so, we drained and spun the yarn.
Then we wrung it out and hung it to dry, and viola! What once was undyed yarn is now black. How cool is that?
We dyed some yarn orange, too, but we didn't take any pictures except this one:
Yeah, Jen might want to wear gloves next time... and you know there will be a next time, because as I said, we're cool like that.
