The Big Pink
As promised, here are the photos of the rose-dyed yarn completed last week. I also have included a photo of the rose so you can compare the actual color of the flower versus the dyed yarn. Like the other natural dye attempts, this yarn ended up with high and low intensity of color, even with the vinegar soak before. Not minding it at all as it lends to the hand-dyed, made at home quality of it. A nice bonus is the yarn has a yummy rose-y smell to it.
Hoping, before the first frost, we will be lucky enough to get at least eight to ten more flowers. Not holding my breath but a girl can hope, eh?
Now, what to do with this small quantity (25 gm - approximately 100 yards) of yarn?
