Now that spring has sprung, my latest passion is dyeing 100% cotton yarn with tie-dye kits. This is 840 yards of pure USA fiber, in a proper rainbow self-striping colorway. I wound a 70-ft hank to get the 10-ft repeats, so that means I walked around in a big circle the distance of over 8 football fields. Playing with yarn is good exercise.Once I got it all dyed and washed, I had to walk the walk all over again to wind it back into a normal yard-wide hank. So altogether, I walked a mile for this yarn.
It was so much fun, I'm doing it over and over again....
Nice new pic, I wonder where that was taken at. It looks like a really cool place with really awsome waiters, well at least one awsome waiter!
