Sock Dyeing Sunday

In going through my stash recently, I started setting aside the sock-weight yarns that I’d been meaning to get around to dyeing. Since I’m currently working on a sock yarn giant granny square baby blanket, and I’m going to need more sock yarn, it seems about time I get around to finally dyeing the yarns up, and I’ve already got dyes (gel food coloring usually sold for tinting cake icings). Today it was superwash merino wool; I’ve got some silk tussah, wool/silk blend, and sea cell/silk blend that I won’t be using in the blanket but I’d like to get dyed up and plan to do next week.






The violet, blue, and white will get overdyed next week – I think with more violet, but I’m not sure yet. The teal and turquoise looks done to me, although too intense for the baby blanket so I’ll be winding it up for use in something else. It’s not much, so a small project – maybe a new sunglasses sleeve.








gorgeous colors!
