I dyed a double batch of Cotton Candy. It and more coffee yarn will be posted soon.
Thanks, everyone, for all the feedback. You make my job so much easier.

Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

Julie, I think the easter egg colors are some of the most beautiful colors I have ever seen. I will think of you when we are dying eggs on Sat. night. I will also be looking around my kitchen for things that might make pretty colored yarn.....

I got some I got some I got some Easter Egg colored yarn.
*yeah* Only other knitters would understand this. Thanks Julie, for making this moment of shopping triumph possible:-)
Hi Julie,
I was wondering where you purchased your yarn for dying? I know they sell natural yarn at knitpicks, but was wondering if there were other places to buy it? BTW, you have beautiful yarn! I really want to try the food coloring.
Tonya
OK, who bought all the goddamn Easter Egg Rainbow?
Knitters. Feh.
=)
Yeah - REALLY!! Who hogged the Easter egg yarn???!
