 Purple Hand Dyed Yarns for Amanda

Handmade Gift - Purple Hand Dyed Yarns

My Handmade Present:

Hand-dyed yarns

Who Gave it to Me:

My best friend Elizabeth gave me these yarns. She's been spinning and dyeing for over a year now.

She knows how much I love to knit and crochet with pretty yarns so she has been promising to make me some yarny goodness for awhile. She used my favorite color, purple, and she gave me several different shades that coordinate.

Advice

  • I am going to crochet a skullcap with this yarn. I think. Haven't found a pattern yet.

Lorain Blanken, DIY Fashion Guide, says:

Knit and crochet projects are so much more special when you are working with hand dyed yarn. By the look of this vivid purple yarn, Elizabeth is quite the talented spinner and dyer!

We'd love to see the finished skullcap when it is done, don't forget to upload a photo. I'll show it off to our readers here and on Facebook.
