Rebecca's project:Jacquard Acid Dyes: #626 Navy Blue and #638 Silver Gray
Daubed on dry yarn with a damp chop stick in some places and increased water level to cover, heated to simmering. Took out when it looked done.
Peggy's project:#304 Cranberry, #306 Turkey Red, #508 Mahogany,
#411 Periwinkle, #119 Sun Yellow
Soaked yarn in water with a little vinegar, spread out as a single layer of yarn, daubed on dry powder w/ damp chopstick at 2" intervals, 6 sections w/ each of the 5 colors, wrapped in saranwrap and set the color with hot water bath for about an hour. (This would also work in a microwave.) Unwrapped and put in hot water with a lot of vinegar so the colors wouldn't migrate.

Very interesting! Beautiful results. I bought some of the same yarn in order to play with dye techniques.
love them both :-)
Beautiful colors. Like them both.
The blues touch my heart, the multi is so nicely balanced and rich. Very nicely done on both parts!
Nice job! I have not dyed yarn yet but have some of that KnitPicks Bare. I was hoping that I could knit a shawl with it and then immerse the whole thing in some dye...will that work?
To Rebecca in CO: sure, you can throw the finished shawl into a dye pot and it could be wonderful! Have fun with it. Rebecca
