Back in December, I shared I had solar-dyed four more balls of crochet thread. Now I have added two more new colors!
A third ball has been soaking alongside these two new balls, but it isn't quite dark enough for me, so it's back in the jar in the window for a couple more week with fresh pigment in hopes for better saturation.
I just love my avocado skin- and pit-dyed crochet thread colors. I've used plain white worsted cotton to tie my thread hanks prior to dyeing for years now, and I've collected quite a few 12- to 14-inch scraps over the years (four or five strands for each hank) I've never been able to discard because I'm such a "use what you have" and "waste not" nut.
I don't know what I'm going to make with it yet, but I tied all the scraps together and wound them into a ball one afternoon while Lizard slept and I had to do quiet things to keep from waking him. I'm kind of looking forward to coming up with a fun pattern and/or project for this new addition to my avocado collection!
