The yarn was reclaimed from a 75% wool and 25% nylon thrift shop sweater, and it has a thick/thin quality. I'm happy that my yarn dyeing experiment worked and that it resulted in some yarn that looks acceptable when knit.
An earlier post about the yarn can be found here.
They both turned out really pretty. I've never heard of icing paste, what exactly is that?
ReplyDeleteBoth cowls are beautiful. I marvel at your patience in unpicking thrift store sweaters. How do you get everything you do done?

You did a great job with the dyeing AND the knitting. I have some Araucania that looks like the yarn in the bottom photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful; I love to work with hand dyed yarn and yours sure turned out some nice knitted items!
ReplyDeleteWho would ever guess that you could use icing paste to dye yarn! The colors are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I think each step you married the piece together really comes together, yarn, dye, pattern :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cowls and gorgeous colors! I am in love with reclaimed wool and haunt thrift shops for garments that can be reused for knitting.
ReplyDeleteThe yarn you dyed is just beautiful! I love how you repurpose fiber and turn it into something more usable. You're inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThese look so nice. You've done a great job.
