So I got bored this afternoon................

I don't know why, but the purple in the skein does not show up well in this photo - it looks blue. Anyway, this is my first attempt at dyeing skeins in multiple colors. I used sapphire, purple and Kelly green. I copied off my friend, Annette, and put the skein in a turkey roaster. My technique is the same as when I dye locks; wet the skein with water and vinegar, then sprinkle it with dye powder, and wet the dye with the sprayer on my kitchen sink. Then I take a plastic spoon and smoosh around until the skein soaks up the dye. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes at 350. Drain and rinse skein thoroughly afterwards.
