My First Dyeing Adventure

I was chatting with my knitting buddy on MSN today and we thought of going to Spotlight or Lincraft tonight. However, our stash has been growing and growing that I told her, we shouldn’t :up:. She has recently started to dye her on yarns just a few days back and I think she’s obsessed with it.

She then came up with this brilliant idea that I go over to her house after dinner. As I live about 15-20 minutes away from her and I’ve got nothing much to do, we sort of make it our knitting date. But honestly, we didn’t knit much :-P.

We spent the entire evening dyeing 100g of yarns!! My very first experience!! How exciting it was!!! Here are some pictures that I can barely wait to show you!!! I’ve named it Dusty Leaf. What do you think of my first outcome??
