So the olive dye was waaaaay more brown-gray than green. However, I LOVE this result, and it's at the top of my "maybe it's for me not for sale" list. (It's for sale. For now.)

Look, look, I'm being productive some more! And in between steps on this, I am working on clothes for my labubu. I love weird little gremlin dolls!

Oh, one of the pinks got much lighter once they dried! And the wool-silk is lighter than the sock yarn. One sock yarn is already claimed, but the other two are for sale. Message if interested?

I think it'll be somewhere between my favorite pokemon and the doll aisle at the toy store. Kinda excited to see how this one finishes!

I'm sharing a booth with some friends at LA ComicCon! We gotta finish set up in the morning, so this is the best pic I've got right now. I'll have my yarn and scarves and soaps for sale!

I just wanted to use up some leftover dye. The one on the left started with a gray base and got jewel tones. The one on the right was white and just did that. I hope I can do something like that on purpose next time!

The colors got a little lighter as they dried, but didn't shift towards what I expected. A friend pointed out that that is an extremely spruce color, so I'll just have to blame the sample swatch at the store for my expectations of green.

Colors not as expected so far. But they might shift once fully set and dry? SCIENCE!

Today's yarn soup! I should also be getting soap made, but can't do that with the AC on. MAKE ALL THE THINGS!!

This took forever to dry, but I'm so happy with the colors!

I got out of bed so early on a Saturday, but I guess it was for a good cause. I also went back to bed when I got home.

More yarn soup! The right side is spinning fiber that was prepped really oddly, so I have concerns. But I also have hand combs, so.... it's an adventure!

I think this angle shows the range of color the best. I was surprised that the purple stayed so dark! The blue settled on something more bright than dark, but the real magic is where the fades reach each other.

I needed to use up some dye, so I decided to see what I would get. First pic is how I applied the colors, and second pic is where the color spread to by the time it was exhausted. The hardest part was not stirring.

Look what came out of the soup! I'm not sure which colors are my favorite.

Gamex set up! We go all the way through to Monday, so come play at the convention if you're in the LA area!

Okay, here we go. Picture of soap!

My camera fought me so hard. It really wanted to make that green a lot bluer. I think the yarn reads a bit darker IRL, but my photography skills only go so far. I'll have these at Gamex next weekend. Now back to soap making!

Progress! 23 rows done, which is half the rows, but not half the shawl because triangles and math. So far, it's been easy but not mindless.
May 12, 2025 at 5:18 AM
So anyway, the other yarn I dyed is for me and I've already started using it. It's so soft. I have a new favorite yarn for sure.

The results of my yarn soop. I was trying to also get a swatch to save and I guess the scrap wasn't 100% wool, because it took the color very differently.
May 10, 2025 at 9:44 PM
Yesterday's yarn soop! The yarn is still drying, so I probably won't get good pics until tomorrow.

Look! I made dis!
