I'm pretty excited about the thread, ...Thanks! I'm pretty excited about the thread, too, and I actually worked up two motifs with four of my food coloring hues last night... I LOVE 'em!!!<br /><br />Sue, I used plain ol' Aunt Lydia's (because I have a one-mile or so ball of it), size 10 cotton, and I used vinegar to set the coloring and the tea. The thread kind of smells like vinegar now every once in a while, but I still like the final results. I'll work up a tutorial after I finish the motif and, um, special snowflake surprise patterns I've been slaving away at for about five weeks now...Snowcatcherhttp://snowcatcher.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-7410231536341514412011-05-24T07:31:30.962-06:002011-05-24T07:31:30.962-06:00Ooh, pretty!

I've read you can also use Koolaid (which is probably the same as using food colouring). I saw an article in a crochet or knit mag a month or two back about dyeing with mushrooms and bark and berries, yielding lovely muted shades, like your cranberry batch. Do you have to use some kind of fixative? I have done a little tea dyeing but nothing else.<br /><br />Looks like you'll have to write a tutorial. (I should just search the Internet instead of putting all the pressure on you. But I would love to hear how you did it.) :)<br /><br />Again, good luck with the move. Congrats on the awesome mileage. You can easily knock out 54 more this month. Three easy little 18-milers, or one good long weekend cruise should do it. (Of course I'm used to riding on the flats. Don't know how you do it at elevation. But I know you can.)<br /><br />P.S. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get paid to cycle and crochet and blog? But I suppose if we got paid, they might not be fun any more.Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-62592933881239155862011-05-24T05:58:41.880-06:002011-05-24T05:58:41.880-06:00I love those yarns ♥.I love those yarns ♥.Zzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07172780369275198155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-45632743429318759222011-05-24T04:47:30.725-06:002011-05-24T04:47:30.725-06:00loving the cranberry batch, good luck with the mov...loving the cranberry batch, good luck with the moveStratozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148600260976577216noreply@blogger.com
