I just took a great class "yarn dying", at the "Black Purls Yarn Shop" in Sandwich.
It was so much fun and I came home with 3 gorgeous yarns saturated with color. I can't wait to knit gifts and say that I dyed the yarn!
The shop itself is the best yarn shop I have ever been to! Even if you don't knit going in to look at the colors for inspiration is a must! Below are the photos from the class!
Looks like spaghetti at first!

| Look at all the colors to choose from! |
 |
| Don't worry, the dye is already mixed for you! Just choose and dive in! |
 |
| Before I added a warm brown! |

| Letting the dye soak into the yarn. |
 |
| A lovely place to spend the morning! |

| Owner and amazing teacher! |

| This one looks like seaweed, beautiful color by one of the class participants. |

| Spritzing color onto another color |
 |
| This was my favorite one to make. I made it for my niece Meghan! her hair is a beautiful auburn color and I thought this would look great on her… we shall see what I actually make with it. |

| The morning light was peaceful and relaxing! |
Here is what it looks like inside the yummy yarn shop…
