Dyeing: tie-dyeing yarn

I used the following ingredients for this little dye-along:

1 hank 100%wool
tied with cotton thread
soaked in water and a large amount of vinegar



Mixed two colours:
purple out of burgundy and turquoise
green out of cobalt blue and lemon yellow



Off into the pot!



The blue won! No green to be found, only a small amount of purple and very little colour-splitting. This is due to the fact that I used quite a large amount of vinegar. The less you use the higher the chance that you get some interesting colour-splitting.





I will repeat this experiment with
- less vinegar
- two tones of purple, one mixed out of cobalt and pink and one mixed out of blue and red.
