..HAND DYED WOOL BY TRACIE..

TODAY I DECIDED TO GET A WILD HAIR UP MY BUTT AND HAND DYE SOME YARN..!!..I WAS KINDA IFFY ABOUT IT BECAUSE LIKE I SAID EARLIER I REALLY HATE BUYING EXPENSIVE YARN BUT SINCE I AM GETTING BETTER AT MY KNITTING I THOUGHT I WOULD CHALLENGE MYSELF TO THIS AND MAKE SOMETHING FOR ME DYED BY ME..I WENT TO AC MOORES AND GOT THE WOOL..THEY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH OF A SELECTION BUT I DID RUN BY SOME PATONS AND LION BRAND WOOL..THEY ALSO HAD FISHERMANS WOOL BUT IT WAS $13.00 A SKIEN..!!..

THEN WE HEADED TO WALMART AND I PICKED ME OUT SOME KOOL AID TO DYE WITH..BY THIS TIME I WAS SUPER EXCITED TO GET STARTED..:):)..

HERE IS THE YARN I GOT..I STARTED OFF WITH THE ALPINE WOOL FIRST..I HAVE AN IDEA FOR THE PATONS CLASSIC WOOL SO I HAVEN'T TOUCHED THAT YET..

HERE IS MY TABLE ALL PREPPED AND READY..

HERE I AM GETTING READY TO WASH MY FIRST SKEIN SO I CAN START DYEING..!!..

THESE ARE THE COLORS THAT I PICKED OUT..BLACK CHERRY..LEMON LIME AND I THOUGHT ORANGE WOULD BE DIFFERENT..

ITS ALL TIED OFF AND READY TO BE DYED..I DECIDED TO DO DIFFERENT COLORS WITH THE FIRST SKEIN..WISH ME LUCK..!!..

HERE IS MY OTHER SKEIN GETTING READY TO BE WASHED AND DYED..

THE FIRST SKEIN I DIDN'T TAKE A PICTURE OF WHILE DYEING BECAUSE I WASN'T THINKING BUT I DID THAT SKEIN BY HAND AND A TURKEY BUSTER(I THINK THATS WHAT ITS CALLED)AND I STEAMED IT IN THE MICROWAVE..HERE I DID THE SECOND SKEIN ON THE STOVE..

TA DAH..!!!..HERE THEY BOTH ARE ALL DYED..!!..I REALLY LIKE THE WAY THE TIE DYE ONE CAME OUT AND I ALSO LIKE THE GREEN ONE TOO..I HAVE THE PERFECT PROJECT FOR THESE SKEINS OF HAND DYED YARN BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO KEEP POSTED TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS..!!..
