New to Hand Dyeing? What if you could dye yarn in your choice of colors with NO big (or small) messy dye pots?
The Ewe Dye-It Kit makes it possible! Now you can create your own beautiful hand-dyed yarn using just your microwave oven and common vinegar.
The Kit includes 6 blend-able primary & secondary color dyes, a skein (100g) of fingering weight 75% wool / 25% nylon yarn, 3 dye dispenser bottles, protective gloves, easy-to-follow instructions and more.
Kit contains enough dye to color from five to six 100g skeins of yarn. And, since all the other supplies are several times re-useable, this Kit is eco-conscious. Click to Order
