Hello! I was having fun yesterday, well it was fun up until the point I realized I am a moron and didn't straighten the thread out before I dyed it and just put it in a big heap and threw the ice on it. It took me about 24 hours to untangle this mess of thread! Not a straight 24 hours, I had my 8 hours of beauty rest in there somewhere ;) I spent the whole day today untangling this mess, I didn't do any laundry, dishes, sweeping, nothing. Poor Thomas is lucky he even got fed today, I was on a mission! But it is now in ball form and I have even started tatting a bookmark and it is so pretty! The actual color of the thread is somewhere in between the 2 pictures below.
I started off with white with iridescent sparkles crochet thread. I was lucky enough to inherit some of my man's grandmother's crochet thread. I wasn't planning on dying this one but there was some staining on it so I thought what is there to lose? Anybody have any ideas on a name for this color in case I try to make it again?
Happy stitching,
Very pretty! And wow.... That was a lot of detangeling. Maybe you should just call it "Tangles". LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! And I love the name Tangles. Hopefully this will be the last thing I ever dye that gets tangled like this one did!!
DeleteOooh, I've done that myself in my earlier days of cross stitching. Not a fun predicament.
ReplyDeleteNot even a little bit of fun!! haha!
DeleteWow, that seems a lot of work but love the colour
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a aqua colour
Wish you a lovely weekend
Thanks Esmeralda! I have started tatting a bookmark with it and it is turning out to be such a nice color combo, well worth the trouble. I hope you had a lovely weekend also :)
