Knitting Experiement

 Last Night 

 I decided to give dying the cotton yarn a try, I used blue fabric paints and watered it down. I wanted to wind the yarn up to get different shade variations. I found the dye did not absorb readily so i took out the cardboard cylinder and used a wooden chopstick to give pound the yarn which seemed to help the absorbing process.

This is just one technique I could use to replicate the colour variation happening in my previous collection, I could also try drip dying the pre-knitted fabric which would create a smoother transition. I do however like the textural contrast between the yards
