I would say the Dye Workshop was a great success, even though I wasn’t in tip top shape. I’d like to thank Mary, Amy, and Jasmine for helping out so much!  I couldn’t have done it without all your help!

First off in the wrap up, here are most of the DK skeins.  There were 13 DK skeins dyed in all.  The two purple skeins on the right were two of my skeins.  The two skeins that are missing in this photo are the other two skeins I dyed as demos, which I will show you in the next two photos.

This is the skein I dyed as a variegated yarn demo in Aztec gold, turquoise, green, and blue.  The Aztec gold and the turquoise blended a little more than I expected, so there’s more green in the yarn than I expected, but I think it turned out nicely.

This is the skein I dyed as a semi-solid demo using a lighter and darker version of Aztec gold, with some other color as a highlight which I can’t recall at the moment.

Next up are the 4 skeins of sock yarn people dyed.  Janice dyed the two on the right.  I can’t recall who dyed the other two.

And here we have half of the worsted weight skeins (orange was Jasmine, green was Pam):

Here is the other half, that Mary (variegated) and Pam (semi-solid purple/blue) dyed, hanging to dry, along with a sock blank Mary dyed and along the right side there are some Knit Picks skeins (6!) that Pam dyed.

And here we have some more orange yarn Jasmine dyed, superwash wool from Knit Picks. She dyed 8 (!) Knit Picks skeins, plus two of my worsted weight skeins. She was busy!  I think that’s Janice’s sock yarn on the far left.

Lastly, here is some bulky Blue-Faced Leicester that I dyed the same purple as the DK you saw at the beginning of this post. I dyed this yarn to design a jacket next month, which I am VERY excited about!
