These are the yarns ready to go into the steamer.
The dyes are suitable for natural yarns only but I wanted to try a few different things.
Some worked better than expected but some just washed out.
It is quite difficult to mix the colours exactly how you want them and then
some of the dye washes out. The most succesful yarn was the paper yarn.
The yarns on the right are nylon-monofilament and elastics, the results are varied.
The yellow yarn is dyed with turmeric in a big metal pot on my cooker.
This is the most successful of all creating a really strong colour. I also tried red
chilli powder, this is the pale orange in the centre.
