Dyeing Behind Lovechild's Back

My friend Lovechild decided to make the BeeKeepers quilt and since she does not knit socks, she really does not have enough sock weight yarn.


She purchased a "ton" of fingering weight yarn (made of wool, bamboo, and nylon) from my fiber pusher, Fluffysgarden, which was delivered to me this weekend.


Since I was doing some indigo dyeing, I snuck a skein of her nice clean bare yarn into the dye bath.

After one rinse:

After a vinegar rinse and multiple rinses where the dye exhausted:
Lovely if I do say so myself.


She will be here this weekend to do more dyeing.....and with another shipment of yarn.
