Dyeing with Superwash Wool






My next experiment was to repeat what I had done with the 4 colors of Kool-Aid but this time I followed the Twisted Sisters' directions and used superwash wool. The yarn I used was called Cleckheaton Merino Supreme superwash wool. I found it at my lys. It is a heavy worsted weight yarn and luxuriously soft! I was very pleased with the results. I improvised a bit, after I was done, and soaked the green in a bit of watermelon cherry to get a blush effect in the middle of the green. I am not sure what I will make with it - can there be sock patterns for heavy worsted weight yarn?
