I don't mean I've been dyeing too much, although my son might not agree: he doesn't like the smell of vinegar! No, I been dyeing over some previously commercially dyed wool, in this case Jo Sharp DK. I had a heap of pale blue which I've tried to use several times over the last five or six years without success because there was something not quite right about the colour. I had a whole jumper's worth of beige also, plus a good amount of natural grey left over from T's fatigue that I knitted about six years ago. Here are the results so far:
250 g of each colour. The purple, green and red are overdyed on the beige; the turquoise (it's a bit greener in real life) is on the pale blue. They're supposed to be semi-solids, but they vary in how much.
I think they'd make a nice crochet afghan, but I might try and sell them!

They're lovely colours, especially the green and turquoise. Have you knitting plans for any?
