In this video I note a few things I forgot to mention in PT 1, then we roll through to learning how to braid roving into those pretty thangs you see on etsy, and finally a bit of insanely (I said stupidly in the vid..I am a dork)simple twine dyeing to produce varying shades of one color of dye on yarn. Have fun!!

  • How did you recycle the sweater into twine? Was it simply unraveling the sweater or something similar? I'd very much like to Know how to do that! I can even send you a sweater or two that you can demonstrate on if that would help.

  • @Reximusprimebeta LOL! Love the username. I has a friend who calls me Reximundous. Teeheehee! Anyhow, I found where the sweater was started, cut the yarn, then just unraveled it like you would any knitted project you would frog. It didn't turn into twine, it's still the same yarn that was knitted into the sweater but I just dyed it to make it different. I knit it into a red scarf & donated it to the Red Scarf project.The yarn was too scratchy for my use.The ultimate reuse-reduce-recycle project!

  • 2 people have absolutely no idea how much fun this is. LMAO!!! :P

  • <:3 QUESTION: How much dye do you use per ounce of yarn?

  • @keikothemeowmeow I don't really measure it that way. Makes the outcome pretty much unpredictable & fun!! Read & Follow the directions on your dye container.

  • LOOOOVE YOUR TAPESTRY<333

  • Tapestry? What tapestry? LOL!
