I can usually be found with knitting needles and a ball of wool, but that's only when I'm not sewing something!

Natural Hand Dyed Yarn

 I've been playing around with natural dyes lately.
It was one of the things that I adored doing in school. I love that nothing ever turns out the same (which is both good and frustrating at the same time). I like the adventure of discovering new colours.

I didn't know what to dye with, so I decided on red onion skins, fairly cheap and readily available. Even though I may have looked crazy picking through the onion bin at Sobeys. 

I chose to dye a baby merino skein, an alpaca skein and a super wash merino skein.
Overall I was pretty happy with how they turned out. I want to play with more skeins and colours now.
Must study instead.

I listed them in my etsy shop!
