Space Dyeing Sock Yarn with Random Leftover Dyes

Описание: Sometimes there is a little food coloring left on a spoon, or in the bottom of a cup. I collected this leftover dye together to Space Dye some KnitPicks Stroll sock yarn http://shrsl.com/kp27 (Affiliate Link). I don't know exactly the proportion of colors that ended up in these dyes, or the number of different dyeing experiments these came from, but the unknown is part of what makes the finished yarn so beautiful. Let's have some fun with random leftover dyes!
