Eggs & Yarn Nests
I dyed my Easter eggs Sunday morning and when I was finished I was *this* close to dumping the dye down the drain and thought to myself, "self, you should use the rest of this dye for yarn!". What a fabulous idea self!!! The pink and blue really stood out so I knew that would be a combonation I would dye and I couldn't resist the orange and green together. The colors turned out so vibrant!
I wound the skeins around chairs so I could dye the yarn to be self striping and I split the 440 yd skein in 1/2 so I think each colorway will just be enough to make ankle socks (I'm hoping there's enough).
I may have to take a trip up to the craft store to get more egg dye...it'll be on sale today right??
I think the yarn looks like nests.

Wow! Those are magnificent bright colors. I didn't know egg dye would "pop" that much.
A belated Happy Easter! Those are some bright colors. The yarn looks really fun.
Hi from Austria! Wow - I didn't have a clue that egg dye works so well with yarn! These colors are absolutely amazing, perfect for spring! Looking forward to see what you're going to make with that yarn!
Yum! Wow! SO FUN!
I really need to learn how to do that...is it difficult??
Wow those look awesome. The colors really pop!
Pretty! I'm thinking about a green/orange combo for myself. Though I have to say I stole the idea from Knit This.
Gorgeous yarns! I went over to my brother's Sunday morning and they had just finished dying the eggs - I could have kicked myself for not bringing over some yarn so that we could use up that dye - my nephew would have really enjoyed that.
Girl, could you BE any more creative? (said in best Chandler voice) hehe
Neat! So we can use Easter egg dye too to dye yarn. How about that!The colors really pop!
Fantastic job with the yarn, the colours are so pretty!
