Buy Some Dye!

Just to let you all know ... I just got a great deal buying some Jacquard Acid Dye from Amazon.com through Paula Burch's All About Hand Dyeing page. It's the best deal i've found on the internet so far even after comparing shipping charges. This is a great dye to use on protein fibers but feel free to use Kool-aid, Wilton's, Gaywool and/or Country Classics for this swap. You don't have to use a specific dye. Just make sure to use sock yarn for this first round and don't forget the vinegar and heat setting. I've updated the links for buying undyed yarn and dyes too so check them out.

Want to Learn How to Dye Yarn?

If you are interested in participating in the swap but have never dyed yarn before, have no fear! We have plenty of links to get you started. Check out the list of links in the sidebar. We'll continue to add links as we find them so check back often. I also added a hit counter to the blog so we can see what kind of interest this blog generates.
