Is this one of the colorways you have already done? It looks familiar to me.

I thought I'd seen the inspirational photo before.

I did some dandelion dyeing last month, and was NOT very happy with the results.

So today, I turned the center skein into this, using acid dyes. I had a little left over Teal from my dyeing session yesterday, and added a dab of Yellow Sun and a smidge of Silver Gray. I used my typical crock pot kettle dye process.

What do you think?

Ooh, that is lovely!

Very nice indeed. I like the way the original marigold just peeks through the green. That looks great, I may try that with some similar colorway Paternayan I have earmarked for felting with another colorway. I actually did an emerald green last fall that turned out to be so very nice. I am looking forward to more dyeing this summer!
