Constructive Destruction
...Or, I guess we could just call it recycling. After all, April is Earth Month, right? So let's try and think of things in those terms.
This is a sweater I got from Goodwill a while back. It's an okay sweater. But it's not my size. Not my style, either. I couldn't bear to have that high collar up around my neck. And the color is not me.
But it's wool/angora/rabbit, so it's very soft yarn. And it's going to be my first experiment in hand dying yarn. Whoo-hoo!
Unraveling turned out to be quite a chore. I got 4 hanks this size. I'm guessing this is about 250-300 yards.
As soon as I can stand on this janky knee, I'll be trying out my Easter egg dyes in the microwave. Stay tuned.
