Yarn Dyeing!

Today I went to a (highly anticipated) yarn dyeing class at the Stitch Cafe! It was some serious fun. I used Sterling yarn as my base which has 2% silver in it so it has these awesome sparkly bits that glitter in the light. I wussed out and chose a safe color to dye: purple & pink. BUT! I'd like to think it's a very complex semi-solid dye job. Anyway, I story of dye is best told in photos.

The colors I mixed: Greypurple, Pinkpurple, Rosepink, Fushia.

Gloria's hands... no gloves for her!

I heart utility sinks. I want one. No... I need one.

Rinsing. Not much bleeding! Sweet.
