Well, maybe it’s not midnight yet, but it IS very late and, instead of sleeping, here I am dying wool with food colouring. It’s so easy, so gratifying and so cheap! Three goals! WINNER!!
This is destined to be a crocheted granny hexagon blanket. Lurve them sooo much!

These coulours look so … appetizing, that I would run for my crochet … but I wonder how they stand in the sun and when the wool is washed ???
I wish you a nice day …
Not sure about the fading (but it’s for a blanket anyway and we are in the tropics so avoid sunlight coming in the windows!) but it’s very much colour fast ! I heat set in the microwave and it doesn’t lose any colour after that.
Tks for your reply … your dyeing experience is very interesting !!!
Have a nice day.
Wonderful shades ! It must seem like magic .
It is like magic! I don’t try too hard to control the colour and love variation so it’s almost potluck
welcome back to blogland!!! I’ve missed you xx What’s happening ?? Been a few months since we’ve all heard from you – and now of course I’m a LONG way away … can’t even drop in anymore for a quick visit … do tell!!!
Hey there, Rhonda! How are you?? Life is good here – much more peaceful and I have some freedom back ;P I’ve kind of been in holiday mode but for the past two weeks or so I have started to seriously plan the Next thing. Are you working where you expected to be?
I’m alive and well Kirsty!! Survived the move … just! Still have boxes to unpack – life busy as I’ve ever known it and little free time – unlike you!! Yes working where I ‘expected to be’
Sewco in Mount Gravatt – benches full of sewing and embroidery machines – shelves full of fabrics – walls full of habby – and days full of meeting like minded souls – long hours but rewarding! Looking forward to you revealing your ‘Next’ thing
and keeping in touch more!!! Life is goooooood!! xxx
So vivid! Once again, your never ending talent amazes! Dying wool!!!
Seriously, Melinda, it is soooooo easy it would be fun to do with the kids!
