More on a Pink Theme

As I did in my last post, I am using the rough wool that I purchased on Ebay, original color of light pink. This time I dyed about 400 yards, (2 200 Yd. skeins). I used the immersion method, half dry, half wet to make a bi-tonal color.

I really like this color, with light and dark tones of the Vermillion Pink. Below you see both finished skeins.

Next I used the same technique with a light grey yarn, also from Ebay, also 2 200 yard skeins.

This time I used a mixture of Lilac and Pink to come up with this very nice purple.





I think this method of half wet/half dry immersion is extremely nice. I am not a huge fan of lots of contrasting colors in a yarn, though I will certainly be trying some of that too. I like the more subtle sift in colors that you get from this method.
