Colorful result of careful mixing, painting, curing, rinsing
Here is a photo of me hand painting thread with dye. The next picture shows the finished result, a lovely batch of "Garden Afternoon" hand dyed thread.
I believe your blog heading is new! Very striking and colorful! Beautiful 'stained glass' tatted pieces, and also a photo of the process of hand painting threads; then this post was about that process! It helps to understand how this is done.
I'm glad you enjoyed the photo of the thread being painted. There are a few other photos of HDT in progress on these posts: http://yarnplayertats.blogspot.com/2009/08/skein-winding-in-progress.html and http://yarnplayertats.blogspot.com/2008/03/dyeing-art.html
Yes, Kathy N., my blog heading is new! Glad you like it :-)
ooooh Cool heading graphic! I really like it a great deal. Each time I use a skein of yours, I'll have that photo in my mind. LOL I'm glad you do it because I never would have the get-up-and-go or 'want to.' But I do love tatting with hdt! X Bev
For me, the colors go all around the circumference except those that have very few colors involve. I really need that kitchen island to avoid all those bending during HDTing and cutting my fabric for quilts.

We're still awaiting the magazine!
So THAT's how hand-dyed thread is made. Thanks for letting us peek into your process. Such a pretty colorway!

Oh, my! That is truly lovely. My stash is running low after making bookmarks for coworkers all year long. Guess I need to order soon!
You make some awesome HDT's that makes me drool.
Wow! I can't believe how much the color lightened when it dried. Gorgeous, as always!
