I'm Susan and I live in a small village north of Norwich, UK. My main hobbies are reading, gardening, spinning and knitting, though not necessarily in that order....

Yellow yarn at last.....

The smelly onion skin and daffodil dye pot was worth it - I ended up with 150g of yellow yarn, about double knit weight.

I don't know whether I did wrong in drying it in the sunshine (have to make the most of it when it does shine!) but the bright yellow I started with sort of faded in places, making a varigated yarn.









Even though its not perfect, I'm pleased with my first real attempt at dyeing. Not sure what I will use it for though - its very bright!
