I really enjoy making my own custom colors

I've started dyeing my yarn to expand my craft.  I went to a Fiber Fest several years ago and a lady was dyeing wool with Wilton Cake Icing Dye there.  I liked that idea because you can use your kitchen pots safely and you don't have to worry about chemicals.  And also being a "nature nut" and like being "green", I wanted to try dyeing with plants, roots and seeds.

 I did use different pots instead of my kitchen ones when I did those.  I only used vinegar to make the colors stay.  I wanted to stay away from copper or iron for now.  I thought the colors came out wonderfully and can't wait till I knit with these!  

The items I used for the yarn above was Madder Root, Wilton Cake Icing Dye (golden yellow) and light wash of black walnuts, Annatto seeds, brown icing dye with a wash of black walnuts.  The last picture is black walnuts, one with full strength of the nuts and then the exhausted dye bath.  

I recently made a donation to the NHSPCA

Hello,

because of all the sales of the Felted cat toys in 2013 I made a donation to the NHSPCA in the amount of 67.00. For every cat toy I sell I give 1.00 to the local SPCA.
They are made from wool from New Hampshire farms and businesses
