The Egg Dye Sock Yarn Experience

I bought up a few egg dye kits on 50% clearance this year in hopes to dye up some of my own yarn. I got three skeins of KP bare fingering weight yarn recently and here are my results from dying just one skein so far.

FIVE very generalized steps to your own hand-dyed yarn!!





Step One: Soak 30 minutes in vinegar water.





















Step Two: Mix up the dyes with a bit of vinegar, no vinegar in the pink.






















Step Three : Put yarn evenly into the dye mugs and nuke for two minutes, let rest two minutes...on and off for about 10 minutes or until all dye is soaked up and water looks clear-ish. ( no picture...yarn was in the microwave)



Step Four : Allow to cool down and rinse gently.
























Step Five : hang to dry and wait anxiously to wind up your new hand-dyed creation.

























This yarn will self stripe with white bits between all the colored stripes. This will be the next pair of socks :)
