A Tale of Two Yarns: Why Fiber Content Matters
Everybody loves yarn! But, not all fibers are created equal. Here are some thoughts on why I love merino, and don’t love alpaca so much.
Test Knit – Petite Rose Doily
My first FO of the year is a test knit that I did for a beaded and dyed lace doily. I started with some Rowan pure 4-ply and dyed it with kool-aid. The knitting was a little fiddly towards the end, trying to fit everything on my DPN’s but it’s a great little pattern.
Grape is Strong!
I dyed a second batch of yarn with Kool-Aid. Some of it is Black Cherry Lemonade, some is Blue Raspberry Grape. I got some unexpected, but awesome results.
Kool-Aid Dyeing
My first attempt at dyeing yarn was a safe bet – Kool Aid is not toxic and not particularly messy. Turns out it might not be particularly effective, but still a good baby step.
