Fun dyeing . . . going wrong???

I had fun dyeing with one color but even more when mixing colors and see how it ends up

1. RB lemonade (Kool-aid) and smidgen of Sand Dune (Dharma dye)

2. Berry blasting cherry (Kool-aid) and smidgen of Salmon (Jacquard dye)

3. Smidgen of Twilight grey (Dharma dye) and dust of Teal (Jacquard dye)

4. Grape (Kool-aid) and smidgen of Burgundy (Jacquard dye)

5. Smidgen of Fawn (Dharma dye)

6. Smidgen of Green Juniper (Wilton food coloring)

7. Smidgen of royal blue (Jacquard dye)

All skeins are 25 g and dye mix dissolved in  100 ml of hot water.

I pour in the mix little by little in the large ball,

remove the yarn,

pour a little again,

cook in microwave

and let it stand until water is clear.

but for the no 6, I forgot to remove the yarn 

before pouring the mix and voila...

... horrible camouflage color instead of a nice light green forest color.

Despite this skein, I like the rest of the color. 

The kool-aid helps to bring light to acid dye colors and a nice smell. 

The yarn remains soft despite me torturing it many times ☺

I will be mixing again various dyes. 

2nd bash

I took the same yarn I had "dust dye" last week and 

pour a smidgen of the dye in 100 ml of hot water.

Dye was applied on now a 20g mini skeins.

I like the result with Dharma dye

It is not exactly like the picture on the web site 

but overall it is colors I can enjoy

I can't wait to dye more on large skeins.

Dust of dye

Another day of fun - dyeing yarn

use the same rules as this post 

After multiple try-out, I chose a Superwash DK yarn (Bare from Knit picks).

it is a soft yarn and that takes the dye very well.

I first put the 100g skein in a ball

then I make the ball in 25g skeins (4 each)

I used the Dharma dye this time in the following colors

And some Gaywool dye

✏ Saltbush

✏Watercrest

this is I added only a dust of dye to the 100 ml hot water cup

Beautiful very soft pastel colors

I only kept a 5g sample skein, 

I am still playing with the dye and the rest of the mini skeins, 

now 20g each....
