What’s a girl to do when she has a bunch of boring white cotton yarn?
Dye it of course.
I used a batch of red cabbage dye that I saved in the freezer from dyeing eggs.
I decided to use some crochet skill to try out a dishcloth.
I love that the yarn isn’t a solid color. Some people would look at that as a flaw but I think of it as a bonus.
I made up my own pattern. Frankly, it looks like a thick doily to me.
I’m not sure how the color will stand up to repeated washings but who cares! It’s a dishcloth after all.
Next I’m going to attempt to follow an actual pattern. We’ll see how that goes…since I seem to be pattern challenged.
PS…it’s snowing here again.

Love you hand dyed yarn with it’s pretty striations … natural vegie dyes are so lovely!!!
Sorry to hear about you snow when it’s supposed to be Spring … Hello … Mother Nature … guess she didn’t get the memo 😉

I far prefer the mottled look and actually strive to achieve it. Your yarn is incredible. I love the color and the variation in the color. Way to dye!! Better than saying “way to go.” Yep, two puns there.
Brilliant! that is a great color that you got out of red cabbage…!
