Knitting pic- dyed yarn

[thrihyrne]

As noted, this past Monday I got not only a fabulous massage, but I dyed some yarn with my massage therapist (and former big-into-tie-dyeing) friend Joseph. Below the cut is a picture of the yarn which I dyed two colors: one end was fuchsia and the other bright orange, meeting and blending in the middle. I think it turned out marvelously. Nice and bright! The ball of neutral in the middle is what the yarn looked like before. It was taken from a man's large, so I have YARDS of the stuff which I'm going to dye in three different two-color colorway batches to make three different garments. The piece on the right is a gauge swatch both in stockinette but also an overall pattern that I think I'll use with a different set of yarn. :D :D


Thanks especially to evannichols for the evil unicorn prop. ♥

I could easily get waaaaaaay into dyeing, though I don't have the facilities here where I live. But Joseph does, and he seems very amenable and encouraging of me doing all the dyeing I want there at his place with double sinks and all that good stuff. Out of the sweaters I currently am taking apart, only the one is one I'd want to dye, but it's good to know that with this experiment that if I find more neutral ones (or not) that I can dye them to make the transformation even more striking.
