The little guy and I decided to dye up some Easter eggs this weekend. So, with an egg dyeing kit, some vinegar, a dozen eggs and an eager little boy, we dyed up some very colorful eggs.
When we were finished, I thought, why let all that dye go to waste? I brought out some superwash merino I dyed up awhile back that I thought was pretty boring.
After soaking it in some water for awhile, I mixed a few of the colors together to get a purple and then used the green and blue as they were in the kit. My favorite dyeing method is using an old roasting pan and laying the wet fiber in the pan. Then I just poured the dye on the roving.
Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes and voila, some very colorful fiber. 
OoO pretty! did you use the dye from the eggs for the fiber?
