DYEING TO KNIT SOCKS?

I am ,and lucky for me our first day on the Huntersville NC Target remodel I spotted this across the parking lot.(Actually BHBF did) and I have been bugging Betsy ,the proprietress ,every lunch time since. So last week when she needed an additional guinea pig for a new yarn dyeing class I jumped at the chance.

Here is Betsy and a few of her gals preparing the dyes and then the fun began.
It is an earth friendly dye using vinegar as a mordant and works wonderfully on animal fibers (but not vegetable) called Culinary Colors.
It was fun (alot of laughing and story telling)and we all ended up with some mighty tasty looking yarn.
In a short time we'll be showing off our finished items, but for now we'll just savor the day!!!
