I tried hand dyeing wool for the first time Thursday. Started with blackberry ridge thistledown yarn 1500 grams. (2 skeins). I dyed the first one using a mixture of blue and green food coloring. I ran out of the blue, so the second skein is all green. You tube videos were extremely helpful with this project. I don't like the way the wool smells when it is wet, but the process was fun. I will try it again in the near future.
