I took a two-week vacation from work, in the hopes of not injuring the incoming class of freshmen with my bad attitude (born of too much rah-rah orientation spirit and not enough me-time). While some of this time was spent at the beach, at least a day of it was spent dying wool with my mom.
We've done dying days before, with rather less than stellar results. Either the colors weren't quite right, or the yarn didn't take the dye evenly, or in the end it didn't align with the vision I saw in my head. So this time, we changed up our system, worked a little more diligently and patiently, and came out with four skeins each of yarn that made us (for the most part) quite happy.
I thought I would share the photos that were our inspiration, and the resulting yarn. All of these are on KnitPicks bare bases, some of which have been discontinued since we stashed them.
