Dyepot PS #4 - Dyeing Yarn with Red Cabbage

Join me as I try to dye fiber with red cabbage for the first time!

Let’s have fun and play with this interesting natural dye. The yarn that took the most color were some bare yarn from KnitPicks. Wool of the Andes Worsted, Swish DK, and Stroll Fingering.
