I got off my ass and finally started dyeing yarn from that sweater I unraveled a couple months ago.

I decided I absolutely HAD to dye some yarn last night, after drinking half of my vodka/rum/caffeine free coke last night, so I had to walk up to the store and ended up walking home with two gallons of vinegar.

Apparently vinegar is the magic ingredient for getting the color to stick, because after only a couple minutes after I dumped in the color, the water was clear–meaning the yarn had sucked up everything.

I’m using this awesome tutorial from Knitty, and right now I’m doing the hot pour dye method just to test to see if the yarn will dye well.

It will. I’ve already named this color “algae”. Guess what theme I’m going for. If all goes well, I’ll have some yarns up on etsy and MAYBE HOPEFULLY make some money from yarning around.

Apparently SOY SILK CAN TAKE KOOL AID DYE.

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Now I don’t have to be all bitter and jealous when I hear about the awesome things people do to their yarn with Kool Aid.

That is all.
