Getting my Fingers Dirty
Over the weekend, the postman brought me this:
And I grabbed some of this:
Yup, that’s a lot of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes (worsted weight) and Color Your Own (fingering weight). Some friends are having a slumber party and we’re going to play with dye. Just the PAAS and some Kool-Aid this time.
But the postman also brought this:
Which contained an ad for this:
That’s Yarns to Dye For: Creating Self-Patterning Yarns for Knitting by Kathleen Taylor. Obviously, I ran out and bought it.
Forget simple Kool-Aid dyeing, I want to make self-patterning sock yarn!!! Now I just have to figure out where to wind a 40-foot skein….

I saw that add and thought it’d be so fun to make personalized sock yarn like you said. But I should probably start with a more simple dying project. Thanks for the heel info btw
