Dyeing for Fun Part 11
Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope you aren't getting tired of my dyeing posts each week, but I love to share my new colorways before I open shop. It's nice to see which you all like, dislike, etc. Today I'm going to share a colorway that I actually dyed the same day I made the Strawberry Margarita colorway. I guess you could say that I went on a dyeing frenzy. I'll have one more to share next week from that one session. Today I'm sharing a very happy and bright colorway, Blue Raspberry. It's kettle dyed so that there is slight variation within the skein.

Very yummy. For some reason that skein just screams 'mittens' to me :)
ReplyDeleteOooooh lovely lovely lovely!
ReplyDeleteoooo this is very lovely!
ReplyDeletenursenikkiknits, it would make adorable mittens! :)
ReplyDeleteDina, thanks!
Cris, thank you!
Love that color! I've been on a dyeing frenzy myself lately. I need to start blogging about them. I should try dyeing a single color kettle dyed. Haven't tried that yet!
ReplyDeleteI love this color! I must follow you :-) I'm a newish knitter and occasional spinner, but haven't ventured into dying yet. I did buy a large bag of white rove awhile back though. I'm feeling inspired again.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, thank you! I love blue raspberry flavor, too. I love that you noticed the theme of my names. It goes with my new company name, which will be announced soon. :P
ReplyDeletesuddenexpression, thank you! You do need to start blogging about them! Kettle dyed is so fun, and easy. Just make sure to add color a few times to get most of the white spots out of it.
Jeanne, thank you for the follow and the kind words about the yarn. Dyeing is a blast. You must try it! I have yet to dye roving myself, but I hear it's pretty much the same. Check out some of the dye groups on Ravelry. My favorite is What a Kool Way To Dye.
