Yarn Dying today

Today I dyed Cotton yarn with things I found it my house. I used beet juice, blackberries, merrigolds, Iron Oxide, Blue pen ink (red cabbage and vinegar works but I didn't have any red cabbage so... yea), and paprika. Here are some pictures of what I did. It was messy so be prepared for some clean up if you try it.
BEET JUICE (THE PINKER PART) AND BLACKBERRIES (THE PURPLER PART)











MERRIGOLDS AND IRON OXIDE

So that's that, it was fun. I'm hoping to make some green tomorrow and do something with red cabbage.
