I have an ectoplasm-green skein of beautiful cormo wool that was a horrible first dye attempt.

I assume that the process works as-is because the tea contains enough acid of its own to be colorfast?Kaiyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962273893928934473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145849516288526306.post-36418514728532497402014-08-15T15:09:35.981-04:002014-08-15T15:09:35.981-04:00It came out so pretty!

However, I think I'll leave the dying to the professionals since there are so many cool yarns available!<br />flyingjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160022751157014548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145849516288526306.post-27305505684643518202014-08-13T17:54:21.110-04:002014-08-13T17:54:21.110-04:00Hmmmm, I need to try this - thanks for the tutoria...Hmmmm, I need to try this - thanks for the tutorial.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296050573667055406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145849516288526306.post-11779512395904304222014-08-13T17:46:26.345-04:002014-08-13T17:46:26.345-04:00I had no idea you could dye with used tea bags!

Yes, I have some skeins of a gorgeous wool-bamboo mix I bought ages ago ... the fiber content and yarn feels wonderful, but I feel wishy washy about the colorway now (a muted greenish/beige mixture). I've often thought I should overdye it. I probably will eventually, but have too many other pretty distractions calling my name!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15134113576165467299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145849516288526306.post-60717405286109934082014-08-13T17:05:17.335-04:002014-08-13T17:05:17.335-04:00WOW! the result is amazing!! :) now i want to try ...WOW! the result is amazing!! :) now i want to try that too!!
