Ok settle in, this will be along one! But stuffed with photos so it shouldn’t be too bad!
This is the what me and Rikke got from Dorthe. 2 skeins of a 100grams each superwash wool of some sort, rubber glowes (that we forgot to use, wups) and 3 packs of coulor tablets for eeg-couloring.
Rikke decided that she would use her skein as it was. She wanted to make it blue and green and as it was alreade 160cm in the round this should make it 80cm of each coulor – two rounds of sokcknitting in the same colour. I made mine into three colours, pink, orange and yellow and i wanted three knitted rounds of each colour så i made my skein into 360 cm in the round.
We mixed three colour tablets with 4 tablespoons of vinegar and 1/2 liter of boiling hot water.
We placed a huge pot on the stowe with hot water in it, and big glases with our dye in and then placed the yarn inside of the glases.
In an atempt to get the colour all over the yarn Rikke used a fork to get it into the dye.
To get the exces dye out we washed the yarn (millions of times).
Then we dried it in a towell to get the exces water out, then hung it up to dry over two chairs.
Here is Rikke’s skien.
And here it is all rolled up into a perfect ball (that Rikke, she knows a lot tricks)
Then we did it all over again with my skein.
From the first time around we learned that is was probably bedst to fill the glases all up with dye. Another thing we learned from the second time around was that you should stir the dye up just before you put in the yarn to get an even result.
and washing the yarn.
Hanging it up to dry over night.
My skein 
I know I have already showed it to you, but it is SO pretty!
