As promised last week, here is my dying process, in pictures.
After the skein was dry I was keen to get it back into a shorter skein, but a little worried about how I was going to do this without creating a giant knot! Luckily for me the door handles in my craft room are the perfect distance apart to loop my long skeins around and then wind on to my umbrella swift. I managed to get it wound without any tangles and it didn't take too long.
I am sending this skein to a friend. She had seen the yarn I had dyed to match my winter coat and asked if I could dye her some chunky yarn for a cowl she wanted to knit. I am excited to see how it will knit up.
I now have ideas for trying gradients and self striping, based on what I was able to achieve with my first attempt at longer colour repeats.
My equipment is clearly very basic but for now it works. I am getting results that I am really happy with and having fun along the way.
