The change found in the car....




This wool yarnn came from and Jcrew sweater i found at AMVETS for $3.95. It was a mens large so when i unraveled it there was a lot of yarn. This was the first time i had ever tried to unravel a sweater for its yarn. I found it to be very easy, but time consuming. After i had inraveled, wraped, washed, and let dry. Jen and I tryied koolaid dying for the first time. Now that was fun! And so cheap too! For one night my enitre house smelled like koolaid. Since we had never done dying before we dyed a lot of colors to see what they made. We took the change that Sean leaves in the door of my car and bought all different colors of koolaid. And this is what resulted!!!! Different shades of blues, greens, and PINKS!!! The dark maroon at the top is a bright red yarn dyed with grape. I am in the process of making them into a bag. I will be posting pics of that as soon as it is finished.
