Take one skein of white yarn bought from an op shop.  Fibre type and composition unknown.

Add an excellent tutorial and bottles of food colouring.

Find some gloves and enthusiastic children.

Then zap the yarn in the microwave.

Rinse it all out once it has cooled and drape it somewhere to dry.

Admire all the bright colours.

Then wind it into a skein, wonder what you’ll crochet with it, and feel mighty clever!

Hop on to Ravelry and share it with the what a Kool way to dye group.  Then admire the skein some more.

The yarn must have been wool after all!  It’s rather bright and garish, and a great first step into the world of dyeing. 

There are plenty of creative spaces to be found over here with Kirsty.  What is happening in yours?
