My Process of Post-Dyed Yarn (part 2)

You waited, so I’m providing!

(If you missed part 1, here it is.)

So, this is the part where I switched to the girlfriend’s camera, because the yarn was dry and I was ready to show it off better…

Part 5a - Hanging to dry; almost, but not quite (images are clickable)

Post-Dye Process - Part 5 Post-Dye Process - Part 6

Unfortunately, I didn’t take a photo of the skein, as it was, twisted together. It was really pretty! I’m a fan of re-skeining, however, so I couldn’t wait to get through that tedious process to see the final result.

Final Result - Never Kill a Boy on the First Date (title ganked from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, without shame, because I love that show)…

Never Kill a Boy on the First Date - Sock Yarn Never Kill a Boy on the First Date - Sock Yarn

And that’s it! Maybe once I get more yarn, and some proper acid dyes, I’ll photograph the pre-dye and dyeing process as well. :)

Now you can buy this yarn!

    Hi Katerina!

    The person who bought the yarn is on Flickr, so if you do a search for “never kill a boy on the first date” at Flickr.com you should be able to find their account and keep tabs on their use of the yarn. They also bought “Teacher’s Pet” from me and have photos of a sock that they’re knitting with it.

    It’s super exciting!
