Handpainted Yarn Workshop

I have always wanted to learn how to handpaint yarn and roving, so today I attended a workshop at Wooly Belle.   We used Dharma Acid Dyes.

Wool yarn just waiting for some color.
It was soaked in a water/vinegar mixture overnight.

Starting with the lightest color first.  Sun Yellow.

The next color?  Emerald

Some Sapphire Blue

Adding some Bright Scarlet

More Sapphire Blue . . . 

Wrapping it up in plastic wrap.  Next stop?  The microwave.

Just out of the microwave.  HOT!!!

LOVING the colors!  Still VERY hot!

Washed and rinsed. I can't wait for it to dry!
