Check out what I made!
While I made a few knitted & crocheted swatches for Dye Week, I couldn’t wait to get started on a project! And since my favorite technique is dyeing the long colorways, I started with that skein, first!
Check out my socks!
EEE! Don’t you love it! In retrospect, I might have dyed smaller sections to get narrower stripes, but I’m not complaining… I think these are super-fun!
Show me what you’ve got!
I wanna see it!

Fabulous yarn! I love the kettle dyed effect. And that colour is spectacular!
And your stripy socks! The stripes are awesome, the way the colour cuts at the ankle. It totally looks like you used two yarns. So perfect! 🙂
Thanks for such a great week filled with fantastic tutorials. You have definitely made me want to try kool-aid dyeing for myself. As soon as I have a kitchen available again I’m going to give it a try. Question is, which color/flavor do I want to try first?
I tried it and loved it!!!!! I used a 3 ply merino tweed yarn and dyed it blue, yellow, and green.
