I started with mostly whites, but as you can see in this photo of the thread soaking, I did use a couple of skeins that already had colour
here they are, wrapped and "batching"
I am quite pleased with the results.

Dyeing Session
I have done a little bit of thread dyeing previously, but this time, I experimented with commercial embroidery floss, as well as cotton and even tried some that had metallic thread running through it.

VERY cool!!
Beautiful. How did you get the sparkle? Was the sparkle added by you or was it already in the thread?
Wow you sure made that look easy :0)
Great colors, how will you use the threads?
Happy Sewing
Your dyed threads are beautiful. I never thought of beginning with white floss. I love your blog and all of your amazing creativity!!! Happy New Year Dear...
great threads! you'll have fun coming up with uses for them, I'm sure!
Will there be a tutorial?
Oh I do love fabric dyeing. I am going to have to give thread a try! This looks too cool!
Love the sparkle! Awesome!
I love the gentle colors in these, very nice. The metallic thread did very well too. Excellent!
Oh yummy threads! Those would look so good on my Kantha stitch project.
WOW! Those are skeins of embroidery floss??! You've transformed them! Would love it if you could share the process sometime.
AND . . .Happy Birthday To You! (a little early -- but I think you can celebrate your birthday all year long, if you want to . . .)
