My first official wool dyeing experience: This is recycled wool from a thrift store sweater, dyed with blue and green PAAS Easter egg dyes. I poured the green dye on one side of the bowl and blue on the other. The bottom ball is the original color.
My first attempt- cant figure out what to make right now tho
Named the colors Valentines and Cotton Candy, since that's what they make me think of

I've tried some koolaid and Easter egg dyeing lateley, but I can't get the bright color I'm wanting. Does anyone have any ideas how to brighten a color?
