So, for the past couple of months I have been dying to dye some yarn! I've been so nervous to try it that I've been doing tons of research on the processes and what I've found is that everyone does it differently! And (barring a few necessities) you can pretty much do it however you want. The beauty of this art is that it is totally unique to everyone. For animal fibers you can use name brand acid dyes, Wilton's Cake Dyes, Kool-Aid, and other food dyes and get incredible results. The plethora of websites and blogsites describing these dyers' dying adventures is great! It's wonderful to see how each individual does their process and see the beautiful results. As I am typing this, I myself have gone on a great dying adventure, results pending, lol. I tried to set myself up efficiently, but it quickly turned in to a very trial and error process which, I guess, is the basis of any experiment. I am truly enjoying my adventure and am photo documenting the whole process! As soon as I am finished I will post the whole enterprise. As it is, I must go check on the yarn cooking on my stove!
