Wilton Dyes and an Old Sweater

All my yarn-addicted friends have peer-pressured me into dyeing yarn. I’m just dabbling, for fun. I’m not as proficient as Mary, Jenn, or Martha, but I did manage to make white yarn turn sherbet colored.
I used my ancient crockpot to keep the water at a consistent temperature, and Wilton dyes. To set the dye I used lemon juice. I didn’t measure anything, because experiments are for guessing. That’s probably why I ended up with sherbet when I was aiming for the same color orange as my kitchen walls.
I still call it success, because it is pretty, and I can knit with it. Hurrah!

Great job!! We are going to have a dye day very soon….
I think it looks great! Very fun for spring.
Gorgeous!
I like the color variations!
