I got inspired last night to try and dye with some beet juice.

I started here, in the gardent with some beets.



Once in the kitchen, I washed up some yarn.  I use Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool for my experimentations.




I had boiled up the beets and got a pretty good dye bath.

I added a little vinegar to set the dye and then cooked it in the crock pot for several hours.  I then turned off the pot and let it sit and cool overnight.  This morning I rinsed.....

And, guess what color I got?????



YEP....a golden brown....WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?


Okay I know it...I really need some help...or maybe I should go back to KOOLAID!
