Childs play

My then 11 year old daughter had also caught the spinning bug and managed to spin up the following batch
of very useable though a bit uneven yarn.


Ofcourse the idea of dyeing it was the next step and a plan was thought upto create a rainbow dyed end result.


We used jaquard dyes (acid dyes) and she applied them carefully.

Neat packages of yarn and dye wrapped in gladwrap


then each in a plastic shopping bag into the big pot to boil for 45 min turning them 3 times.


Hot hot hot, out of the pot


Look at it!


So neat and bright!


A beany was knitted


And the girl is proud.
