I'm a little late on this post, as I was unable to take a picture of my latest yarn dye before I left on vacation. I realized that I haven't dyed a lot of blues, which is shocking since blue seems to be the color of yarn I always gravitate to in the store. I decided to go for a kettle dyed look, using my new (old) crock pot to see how it compares to the one I had been using (which is the one I also cook with, hence wanting to get one for just yarn dyeing). I'm very happy with the results, giving it an almost tie dye look of blues, pinks and white.
