I'm going to make a bag with it. I'm leaning towards felting it since it's 100% wool - I'd rather felt it on purpose then have it happen accidentally later... lol.
I was surprised too since the Kool-Aid had muted so much after drying. I thought that these would tone down too but they didn't. I kind of love how obnoxiously bright they are though.
WOW!!!! Double WOW!!!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOO impressed, I never thought it would be so simple!!! It looks absolutely STUNNING, congratulations!!!! WOW WOW WOW!!!!!! :-))))))) Kisses Lígia
Lovely colors. Take a tip from me and knit a small swatch and wash it just to MAKE SURE it's color fast -- one of my dye lots was not and I am still feeling blue about the blue turning my yellow green today!
That's a good tip - it's a little too late, as I've gotten halfway through the skein already making a new bag but I'm going to felt it so if it runs, I'll be expecting it now. Thanks though - I'll definitely use it for future projects.
Great colors! What are you using it for?
