    I used to meet up with some women every couple of months at our fire station community room to dye yarn and fiber. We used Jacquard dyes, which work beautifully. It was always a blast.

    Hi Annie, I love watching your videos after work as it's very relaxing. Have you thought about making a pouch for your glasses or a travel mug sleeve? It is a good option for scratchy yarn.😊

      Hi!! Thank you so much for watching (: I love that idea! I've made a glasses pouch with a pattern from Dogwood crochet before and I loved it! But a mug sleeve is a great idea for the yarn I dyed in this video!

    My idea for your scratchy wool yarn is some house slippers! I have a pair of slippers (the wanderers slippers from Andrea Mowry) and the yarn I used (wool of the Andes by knit picks) is a bit scratchier than I would want for a sweater/close to my neck sort of garment, but in the slippers its wonderful because it holds up to wear and becomes very comfortable once you wear them a couple times and it starts to felt together a bit.

    Goodness
    1. You’re so pretty all the time- how do you pull it off so flawlessly…
    2. I’m so worried about your cute sweater getting dye on it at 6:05 I’m over here like TAKE THE SWEATER OFFFfffff- as i pull my hair.
    3. Wheew the sweater survived. I can breathe easy now.
    4. The colors are very pretty and yeah ball winding can be a tedious chore

    I think I've seen these in Joann's on the endcap. I live in Texas in the desert part and I'd most likely pick the cotton or acrylic. Let the yarn dying begin!!

    Mittens. Or fingerless mitts. They would be warm, and wool is naturally water resistant.

    It looked like noodles! 😂 the colors turned up super pretty! Maybe you can make leg warmers? You could doble strand and make a knitted beanie (if it'not too scratchy or itchy for the ears and forehead), or even a vest. Can't wait to see what you make! ❤

    SO FUN! I will say, I LOVE getting out my swift and winder….the swift made a ginormous difference. JUST HUGE. This makes me want to try the cotton! Lol. And kool aid and flowers and stuff….ugh. There’s a website - something like yarn to dye for or similar - that has amazing varieties of bases. Just a thought! Also, Cabin Boy Knits does 100% natural dyes which is super cool to watch. I’m obsessed, Annie. Le sigh. 😉🧡🧡🧡

  • @teacheraprilrogers

    I think the kit is a rip off. You only get 205 yards of yarn and if you buy just a regular skein of the fishermans wool it is 465 yards for like $13.00. I prefer Knit Picks yarn for dying. You did a great job and it came out really pretty. I like to dye with food coloring and kool-aid. You dont need that kit. You cant dye cotton with it though. To stop the crunch use a yarn wash or a gentle dish soap like 7th generation. Also Fishermans wool is always scratchy. But a good yarn wash will help with that. Chemnitz is my favorite yarn dyer on UA-cam.
