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.

Dyed hemp yarn

 I have lots of projects going so hope to post a bit more frequently over the next few weeks. The latest is yarn dyeing. I mentioned previously that I dye hemp fabric with fiber reactive dyes from Dharma Trading Company. I recently dyed hemp yarn using the same dyes and yarn dyeing instructions I found on their website. I used four different dye colors including avocado, wedgewood blue, yucca and jade green. I am really happy with how the skeins turned out and I can't wait to knit something for the little guy. I am working on a baby knicker pattern that I hope to post soon. The yarn will be perfect for a pair of pants for the little guy.
