Using food and drink dyes can be an accessible and approachable way to try your hand at dyeing for the first time. While these dyes are often not considered to create deep, complex colors, Spin Off contributor Kristi Schueler clearly made it work! Keep in mind, more concentrated colors can be obtained by using gel dyes vs. liquid food coloring.
Kristi’s dyeing explorations resulted in a vivid, somewhat-striped yarn, which she then used to knit a fun pair of toe-up socks with diamond ribbing.
Knit with your handspun! Spin up handpainted yarn, gradients, batts, and different breeds, then cast on 20 custom knits with your one-of-a-kind yarn.
