Green With Envy
I dye my Angora yarns. The more popular colors are blue, purple, pink, red and any of these combined together.
Green is a hard to handle color; those who like green just love it, those who do not will not touch it. Recently I had a friend asking whether I would try to dye a couple of green skeins. I said I'd try.
Here are the two different green skeins that I dyed. One skein is light green with a hint of blue and the other is moss green with red.
My friend really likes them, will pick them up in Santa Rosa.

Do you dye first then wash since you will wash out anyway?

I wash the yarn first, then put the wet yarn in the dye pot, then cook the yarn until the color sets. The color does not bleed when I rinse afterwards.
