I Dyed Yarn!
Finally a blog post about my yarn dying adventure! Overall I'd say it went well. I used the microwave method and some leftover bulk yarn I had laying around. I picked up the dyes and a book on hand dying techniques at a local yarn shop.
First I soaked my yarn, then put it in the water vinegar mixture. I poured my mixed dyes over the top of the yarn and since it was so bulky I poked it down with a spoon to help it penetrate all the yarn.
After it cooled down, I rinsed it and hung it to dry, and later re-skeined it. I didn't know what to do with it and bulky isn't my favorite weight yarn anyway so I gave it to my friend who knitted it up for me into a great hat!
