Yarn again

I have been getting little gifts of yarn.

Hand-me-down gifts.

Yes.

THAT kind.

;)

 

I like little gifts....

but they're not always the right COLOR.

I had something in the kitchen that solved THAT one!

I'm calling this yarn color

OATMEAL.

 

I've been wanting to weave a summer shawl.

Yeah!

Necessity...the mother of invention...strikes again!!!!

 

Well....not QUITE necessity.

More like InSANITY.

Hah!

Insanity...necessity....

 

You know what I MEAN!

 

Dyeing this yarn was so simple.

I spread it out in my 9x13.

Added boiling water and tea bags.

Let it set maybe an hour???

Hung it outside to dry

and rolled it up!!!

 

I'm sure there's a secret to keeping it from tangling up.

I don't know it.

THAT was the only trouble I had.
