I am part of an online community called the Nappy Network. A great source of information, support and fun. At the moment one of the lovely ladies is running a Yarn Swap. Basically that means that you get some white wool and dye it. You have to think of a theme for your recipient and also add a suggested pattern for them to knit with their wool. You package that up along with a wee gift and a poem or recipe - all fitting with the theme.
So having never dyed wool before I thought I had better have a practice so I dug some cake dyes out of the cupboard and had a play. This was the result. I should have limited my colours more but I was just using what I had. Anyway Laura loves it so I am knitting her a scarf and a matching headband. This is what the scarf looks like so far............
