This is the first time in a long time that I've done a blog post about dyeing yarn without also filming a video to go along with it. However, since I made a video with using old tie dye kit dyes in the past, I felt this would be redundant. I do need to make some yellow yarn for a new design I have in the works. (I am super excited about this one!
I still have some mixed yellow dye left over from my
Tulip Tie Dye Kit
that I decided to use for this project. I presoaked some fingering weight wool in water for 30 min before adding the yellow dye and letting it sit overnight.
The next day I rinsed the yarn and washed it with some dish soap. There was a lot of run off but eventually the color cleared. After washing, this miniskein was a bit tangled, but it is so small that I had no problems winding it into a ball. I hope there will be enough for the project I have in mind!
What do you think I need the yellow yarn for? (
Hint, it is just a small amount of yellow yarn.)
