Teal worsted

dyed teal worsted
Here’s 420 yards of worsted yarn dyed in the crockpot. This is the diluted gunmetal, sky blue, primary blue, and black left over from yesterday – I had dipped a cup out to reserve – mixed with strong emerald. Yarn started as a natural cream, not a true white. I originally purchased this at Dianne’s store in South Carolina. She has since cast off the brick and mortar store to concentrate on her gorgeous hand dyes at http://creativelydyed.com/ . I know she had mixed feelings about letting her store go, so I may write to her so that she can see that some of her yarns from that time are still being put to good use.

By the way, I have no idea what I might do with this. I’m starting to reach a point where I really need to start gifting, trading, or selling some of my handdyed yarn. I’m trying to declutter my house, not add more stuff!

Also, everything I said about preferring subtle variations of tone got tossed out the window at Jet’s dyeing party. I’ll be posting that little gem when it’s completely dry.
