The next one is the skein I dyed a medium pink all over first, then later added some other colors. I think it came out pretty well. The first picture is how it looked before reskeining, and the second is after.


I have another skein in the dyepot now. I've been studying my "Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook." It has lots of information about socks, of course, but also quite a bit about different dye methods and technical stuff about pH and temperatures. I'm working on getting more even color in my yarns. From what I read, I think maybe I'm using a little too much vinegar. It said to use only 2 teaspoons of vinegar per gallon to put in the dyepot. So that's what I tried today. Here's what it looks like so far (it looks like the colors are pretty even):

I'll have to try to post a picture of the finished yarn. Better get off and go check on it again.

I wouldn't even know how to begin dying (wouldn't even dare a t-shirt!) - looks lovely though.
