More Gratuitous Dye Pictures
Because Blogger limits you to 5 per post......
Yarn in the oven, baking in the dye goodness. (180 degrees for about 30 minutes or so, not an exact science.)
Yarn outside after bath.
Yarn again, looking very pretty I might add.

A Time to Dye
Today, my fingers ended up looking like this. Why? Well, lemme tell you.
It started with these characters. Green, Blue, Red, and Orange.
The Red (Blastin' Berry Cherry) and the Orange (Mandarina Tangarina) mix to make a "true red". I then mixed a little of that with blue to get a purple....it was more navy/grey than purple, but whatever.
I mixed a little green with some blue to get a turquoise-y color. And I mixed a few drops of the red with the blue to get a "true blue" color.
My original color idea was a purple/blue/turquoise skein.
I ended up with something a little different but still pretty. Here is is taking a nice bath after it came out of the oven.
Here is the finished product (minus drying and reskeining). I ended up using not only the blue, "purple" (I use that term loosely here), and turquoise/blue-green I made, but also the straight-up-from-the-packet blue (Berry-Blue) and the straight-from-the-packet green (Lemon-Lime).
I am calling it Tidepool. I really like it. Can't wait for it to dry so I can reskein it. And then cake it!! And then knit with it!!!!! (Probably some longies or shorties).
