Dye results
November 10th, 2009
My yarn and socks are rinsed and dried. I’m very happy with the results!
I used Jacquard Acid Dyes in Kelly Green and Chartreuse.
The natural heathering makes the dye job heathered.
I’ll be using these for a fiber art piece. I’m making a Green Man and will be knitting a ton of green leaves.
I’m working on the background now and will post pics soon.
Here’s the original natural gray for comparison:
Awhile back Thebes bought several pairs of kilt hose. One pair ended up being too small so he gave them to me. They’re a wool, angora, nylon mix. But they were white. I’m clutzy and avoid white clothing because I just end up staining it.
I put them into Laura’s purple dye pot.
They turned out pretty cool. One of the fibers must have resisted the dye or reacted to the dye differently.
These socks are toasty warm too.
While doing the photo shoot Sieben came over with his toy bunny. How can I resist such cuteness?

[…] I’m knitting up my green yarn into leaves for my Green Man. The leaf patterns are from Nicky Epstein’s Knitted Flowers. I’m going to use up all this handspun making these. It won’t be enough for the piece because I want a forest of leaves on him. I’m pulling out most of the green in my stash for this project. […]
