As I've previously posted, in November I took a yarn dyeing class at
SugarBee Studios (here is where you can find
part 1 and
part 2 of the series). I promised in Part 2 that I'd post pictures of the reskeined yarns so you can see how different they look. The picture above shows the 4 skeins I dyed (the other 2 were overdye's of yarns SugarBee had). The picture below shows the 4 of them reskeined. They look much nicer.
My son's girlfriend really likes the one second from the left. Her favorite color is orange. I must admist that it's not my favorite and I'm not necessarily fond of the one I call "Easter Egg". Bet you can guess which one that is! I'm going to continue to explore dyeing my own yarn. I love the process and I love that I have a medium I can enjoy and still get a useful product out of it. G gave me a bunch of acid dyes and bare yarn for a Christmas gift and I have a crockpot I never use so I'm set to go! Now I just need to remember what to do !!!

All of them look quite lovely to me!
Fun!
cool stuff Jackie!
They're all lovely, but the purple is FABULOUS!
I love the blue skein.
Your yarns look fabulous! Do you have a specific plan for each one?
They are all gorgeous! I'm just catching up on my blog reading so wanted to comment on some of your other posts rather than leaving a comment on each one. I think your free motion is great - the hardest part is getting the spacing right and it looks like you've got that down pat. Love all the books you got and am anxious to see what else you ordered!
Poor Cody - hope he has recovered from those fireworks. Our old black lab was a big chicken too - little dogs are much braver - they don't realize they are small!
Happy New Year.
Jackie: Thanks for stopping by my blog today. You made my day with the comment on "after all, she's a terrier!" Ya gotta love 'em.
Jackie...I want all four skeins!!!! Gimme, gimme!!! Wow...they are gorgeous. You did a great job. My I suggest sock pattern Spring Forward for your Easter Egg yarn...sounds like a perfect match to me!
Very impressive, Jackie! I look forward to see what you are going to make with the yarn!
