Some dyeing I've done :)

[Momcrochets]

I bought some peaches and cream white on a cone, wound most of it into hanks and put some dye (dylon) into spray (the cheap walmart ones) bottles. Spread the yarn onto a plastic trashbag outside, and spritzed them like crazy.

It was fun.

This is a little bit of leftover bamboo (aunt Lydia's bamboo thread), maybe 50-75 yards of it.

 

Here's the peaches and creme:

It's pink and yellow, mostly layered , but there's some subtle shading in it too. Peachy-colored kinda

So what do you think?

Very pretty!

Very nice! I don't have the guts to do that, but I have seen some on here that people have done and it's always so pretty and unique!

[Peggy85225]

I agree very pretty but beyond my capabilities.

I think you are on to something there. I would love to try this someday because I love color.

Wow... That's an awesome color creation there.

I think it turned out wonderfully!

great color

[Momcrochets]

Thanks everyone. I left some on the cone b/c I was impatient. I wonder if I'll have

If you wanna try it, but you're nervous, start with a 2oz ball, and find a tie-dye event somewhere during the summer...I dip-dyed some last year that turned out pretty well too.

Or...

If you like colored thread, check out the bannered ad Sara's Colorwaveyarns dot com. She's got some gorgeous thread AND Yarn for sale that she has dyed. I ordered some...It came quickly and I love the colorway, the photos are remarkably accurate. shipping was reasonable too. (It was my birthday present:))

 

I have no idea what special thing I'm going to make with the yarn I dyed though

That's really neat! I've never done anything like that.
