FO Friday: Hand-dyed skeins!

3

So I may have mentioned a time or two that my husband is awesome. Today, I present further proof. He was looking for an artistic hobby, something to combine his love of color and his desire to work with his hands.

He decided to try yarn dyeing. Yes, that’s right.

Yarn dyeing.

Be still my heart.

He finished up his first mini-test skeins today and I got some pictures!

He layered purples and blues on this one. Isn't it gorgeous??

My favorite shade of blue!

The skeins are small, but I think there’s enough for me to make a killer striped project. I think the colors will play nicely together. Maybe a pair of fingerless gloves or a hat? (They’re worsted weight.) Anyone have a suggestion?
