Another Over-Dyed Yarn
























Here is another creation of using the over-dye method. The base color is peach by mixing pink and orange and set in the microwave oven. After the color is set, blue drops were placed on many different spots without disturbing the yarn. Then the yarn in the hot water is put back to the microwave oven to set the dye. Those very bright spots are the original blue color. The purplish color is the result of the blue soaking into the peach color.


The length of the skein is a little over 100 yards, the weight is a little over 5-1/2 oz. The most suitable use is for hats.
