Apparently I forgot to bring a few of these pictures with me to work, but that's ok. My first step of this process is soaking the yarn in a nice solution of water, vinegar and a squirt of dish soap for an hour or so. Next I boil some water with quite a bit of vinegar. The more vinegar, the more vibrant the colors you get.
Here we'll add the boiling vinegar water to the dishes and mix in some pretty colors! (not sure why this is being underlined...but oh well.)
Next I paint...in no orderly fashion. I did learn a few little tips from Kayla. Paint large strips of a single color and measure the areas that I paint to prevent pooling.
Then microwave the yarn for five minutes. Flip it over and repeat. (here we go with this underlining again)For the trim I kettle-dyed my skeins.
And here is the final product! Sold on Etsy at Kayla's shop.
