Dyeing for Fun Part 10

The next few weeks, I'll be sharing a few kettle dyed yarns that I dyed last week. I was originally going to just do one skein, but it ended up a fun day and ended up with three pretty skeins. Today I'll start with this one. I was hoping for a good pink, despite it being hard to photograph.




Colorway: Strawberry Margarita
Fiber content: 100% Merino Wool
Weight: DK weight
Yardage: 246 yards
Unit Weight: 100 grams
Care: Hand wash/Dry flat
Dyed with: Kool-aid

    New follower! Very cool dye job there! I just read that you started crocheting late 2009. And you have 239 skeins? Girl, I hope I don't keep that pace or my husband will seriously have a heart attack! lol Just taught myself to crochet last month via You Tube videos and am LOVING it! Helps so much with my chronic pain - to distract from the nerve burning. And so many ideas...so little time! I hope to come back and join up -Gonna put your party button on my link party page.

    Cheri, thanks and welcome! Make sure you come back tomorrow, as we have WIPW (Work in Progress Wednesday) that is a TON of fun. Yep, I actually just got more yarn (explained tomorrow in WIPW) so I actually have more than 239. Oops. LOL I learned to crochet first as well, and on Youtube! Thanks for linking to my site!

    Ooh, great colour! It's beautifully saturated. Good job on the photos too, I always have such a hard time trying to capture reds and pinks!

    elephantJuice, thanks! It's more of a pink than what is showing up unfortunately! I need to figure out just how to get the colors to show up properly.

    Marushka, thank you!
