There's nothing like seeing the colors develop right before your eyes, and having control over how intense the colors are. I could do this full time.

I can't believe all but one seem to be doing pretty well, considering all the weight they just had on top of them! Hopefully it felt like a warm, cuddly quilt... :)<br /><br />I'm using Dharma Fiber Reactive dyes. Initially I just had primary colors, and I mixed my own hues. But now I have several different shades of blue, and I have been so itching to try them out.

And I hope your seeds surprise you in the coming months. This post made me giggle. It also made me want to dye some of my own yarn. I've never really done that before...summer projects when it's too hot to go outside perhaps. Best of the weekend to you, Snowcatcher. Stay warm and take lots of photos.
