Weekend Dyepot

August 16, 2009 by sunrisesister

I dyed up 150gm (3 balls) of the machine wash 8ply I picked up in Bendigo for just $2 each..

From this..

Very difficult to catch the right colouring – the light here isn’t great this morning. But the wool feels beautiful and soft, and the dye took BEAUTIFULLY. Not bad for food-dye from the Asian Grocer, at just $2.30 a pop :) I am steering clear of Landscapes dyes while pregnant, even though I have some SERIOUSLY gorgeous 12ply I want to colour!

As for this batch.. well it’s destined to go on the needles today for a verrry special project..

    Hi Char. The colours look amazing, did you use a blue and green dye? Were they the ones from the chinese supermarket near Lisa’s place?
