Over dyeing yarn

( I know, bad picture)

This was some yarn
 that I had dyed a long while ago.
The colors were off and I never liked how it turned out, even knitting with it.






In the pot it went
applying other darker tones

I over dyed it.

 indigo, teal, charcoal, purple
green blue

Color is a funny thing
amazing how easy and challenging it can be at the same time to get it right.



Good lookin cookin!

May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,
and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.
