The story of this yarn
Mood:
surprised
Mood:
surprisedI was going to dye this yarn with Beautiful deep pink Zinnia petals. But it did not work. I picked the petals and put them in with the yarn and nothing happened. All of the color faded from my Zinnia petals, but it did not dye my yarn.
I had some cherry and strawberry Kool-aid in the house so I mixed the 2 colors together and dyed the yarn with the Kool-aid. Which worked fine but did not turn out right. I had bare spots in the yarn that stayed white. So I bought some orange Kool-aid and over dyed the red yarn. This is the result of the over dyed yarn. And I LOVE it!!!!!!

She knows that I am a huge Elvis fan. Thanks again for the fabric Sheila!
