Cotton yarn dyeing


I dyed a two skeins of organic cotton yarn using Dharma Trading Company Procion dyes in ultraviolet and wedgewood blue using the yarn dyeing instructions I found on the website. I also threw in a cotton baby shirt. I put the shirt at the bottom and poured the dye into the pot. The baby shirt turned out really cute and true to color. However, the yarn color turned out different than expected. The base color of the yarn is a dark beige so that is why it has a green tone. Interesting color combination though and I think it will make cute shorties.
