I just recently landed my first custom dye order from a client. It's been so much fun to dye a sweaters quantity of yarn and I've been taking photos to keep the client updated so I figured I'd share them here and let you see what's in the dye pot.
Here are the five hanks of DK merino bare naked. How scandalous!
The yarn took a nice relaxing soak in my bath tube before being tossed in the dye pot.
My tools of the trade. I will only be using three colors of dye for this order.
Steeping in the dye. This is the first of three rounds of color for this dye lot.
As soon as the hanks are dry and ready to go I will post the final product. My client also said that they would send me a photo of the finished sweater. I can't wait to see it and will hopefully be able to share it here on the blog.

Wow, so interesting! Thanks so much for sharing! xxx
The ways in which I am impressed with your DIY abilities is never ending! I NEED to get back to knitting, stat.
Thanks ladies! I had such fun dying this custom color. Lori, you should totally get back into knitting. The fall is definitely the perfect time of year to pic up a set of knitting needles.
