edit --The better pictures I promised, for your viewing pleasure.
Starbucks -- inspired by a recent trip for coffee with a friend.
Preschool -- my first attempt at pot-dyeing. The blue was a bit too dark, so the blue, green, and purple are all a little darker than I was going for, but I still like it.
Nightlights
First snow -- one of the colorways suggested by @_anea
Citrus -- the other colorway suggested by @_anea. One of my favorites!
Easter -- This shot is much more color-accurate than the initial one, but the green still doesn't want to show up as nicely as it does in person for some reason.
Bacon! -- dyed for a friend whose boyfriend LOVES bacon. He'll be getting a scarf or something out of this.
Bouquet -- colorway suggested by my sweetiepie.
Meadow -- I actually overdyed this one with blue after the initial dyeing. It was bleh at first, but now it's quite lovely.
Lakeside
Meteor Shower -- if this one knits up the way I hope it'll give me white streaks against blues.
'80s --I couldn't resist doing some pretty, bright neons.
Now the hard part...deciding which to use first!
I love them!
ReplyDeleteThe Bacon one is completely appropriate, but also hilarious! I could definitely see that knit up as a guy-friendly scarf.
First snow looks so pretty <3 Citrus turned out exactly as I thought.
I also love how Meadow turned out. I can't really tell what weight that is, but it would make a fun pair of spring socks, imo!
Starbucks turned out great and I love Lakeside.
I wish I could dye! This looks so fun!
Thank you! I'm so happy you like them.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is really, really, REALLY bacon-obsessed. I couldn't resist the temptation to supply yarn for a bacon scarf. XD
Starbucks and Bacon are worsted weight, and Meteor Shower, Preschool, and Lakeside are fingering weight. Everything else is sport weight. Lots of pretty socks to make!
You'd be surprised how easy dyeing is. You can even do it with food coloring if you don't want to jump into the high-end dyes right away. Just be prepared to make a mess!
Oh, and Meadow was actually done entirely with food coloring (I used my jacquard dyes for the others), so you can obviously get very pretty colors going that route if you want to give it a shot. :)
