Dyed yarn, etc.

So all that stuff I bought at Len's mill two weeks ago hasn't really gotten much use, yet. Maybe I should mention that I am the queen of UFO's. But I have been doing stuff.

I bought wo bags of neat-o trim at Value Village in KW. One is the dangly pom-pom type, but it is off-white, so I decided I wanted to dye it. Well it didn't turn out so well, BUT I did LOVE dying it. And thanks to Craftster, I figured out why (it was probably cotton), and what I could do instead.

I can dye yarn!

It has to be animal fibre (or nylon, apparently, but I have yet to try that one), to work with the Wilton cake dyes I used. Same technique as kool-aid dying, but I like the idea of more control with the Wilton dyes. I went all out and bought the biggest multipack of dyes they had and I loved all the colours.

I have already started turning this ball of yarn into the Pompom Beret from Simply Baby by Debbie Bliss. I am planning on giving it to Ada Elizabeth, Willy and Leanne's new bundle of joy.
