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.
