Dying Yarn and Breaking Violet!

Hello :)
I absolutely love dying yarn! It's so much fun and so rewarding to be able to dye yarn and then crochet it into something beautiful for myself or as a present for someone. Last year I started experimenting with dying yarn and I fell in love with the process. Here are a few yarns that I dyed last year. Would ya'll like a blog on all of the yarns I've dyed? Comment below :) For the blog and picture tutorial on how I tie dyed cotton yarn, click on the picture below. And for the video on how I dyed yarn and broke violet, scroll down.

How I Tie Dyed Cotton Yarn Picture Tutorial!

One of my new favorite things to do is experiment with dying yarn! I have tried dying yarn with Kool-Aid, a lot of fun but a limit on colors, and now I'm ready for something new! 

My Cotton Candy Shawl

Last summer I crocheted my mom a shawl for her birthday and ever since then I have wanted a shawl of my very own. So when I found out that one of my local craft stores was having a sale on yarn I decided to buy enough white wool yarn to dye and crochet into a shawl. 

How I Dyed Yarn With Kool-Aid And Loved It!

I had been wanting to dye yarn with kool-aid for a while now so when one of the local craft shops had a sell on yarn I decided to buy 4 skeins of wool yarn to dye. I knew that I wanted to dye the yarn in a gradient from pink to blue to crochet into a shawl. I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to get started!

A Yarn Swift Winding Tutorial

Last fall I won some gorgeous yarn from Celestial Strings and it came in the beautifully twisted hanks that still need to be wound. I ordered a yarn winder and I used Sean (my boyfriend) as a swift to wind one of the hanks so that I could use it for a Christmas present. The other hanks have been patiently waiting to be wound. For Christmas my dad got me a yarn swift so, a few days later I decided to wind the hanks for a future project. Scroll down for the picture tutorial on how to wind yarn with a yarn swift and winder or click here for the video tutorial.

I Won Yarn From Celestial Strings!

A little over a month ago, Celestial Strings held a contest for a mystery bag of yarn and I can not believe it, but I won! I was so excited I could hardly wait.
