Sportweight Dyed

Well, I can tell which skein I used Bull Oak on, but the other colors are hard to pick out -- especially Cranberry from Plum. I think I can tell which is Salmon. Next time I'll be more careful.

I don't know that I am completely happy with my dip-dyeing experiment, but I'm going to make a sweater out of Natural Knits for Babies & Moms -- the textured, guernsey-style one.

I'm going to make the Kai Cable sweater out of the light worsted hand-dyed yarn.

Gaywool Dye Test #2

Well, I'm trying the Gaywool Dyes with the dip-dyeing technique. I have two skeins brewing in two colors each. Hopefully, I'll be able to tell which color is which. I'm not taking very good notes...but I just want to randomly try things right now.

I also picked up some more Kool-Aid and some food coloring to try.
