I made this little fabulous hat. It is a new-born size.For ages I had lying around 3 skeins of baby-alpaca blended with silk. It is the softest yarn I ever felt. I knew it had to become a baby thing, but what???
Then I was in the library last monday and found this fabulous book. It has a basic babyhat patern and about 20 different ways of making that patern unique. I made this hat, but guess I will make more soon :)
I also tried wool dyeing with Kool-aid.
As we have no microwave I had to do it "au bain mary".
The colours are horrible, but that was all I had. In Holland Kool aid is not for sale, ands these purple and yellow bags were a gift of a wool dyer I know.
It turned out really well, although the combination of these two colours are terrible, it was so nice to try! I will give this away to a bunch of people I know that make a sockyarn blanket. They might like a little patch of this grazy yarn in their blanket.I loved doing it, when I can get my hands on some other kool aid, I will make a nicer colour sceme, knowing now how to do it :)

Leuk mutsje. Voor felere kleuren wol kun je ook azijn en voedsel kleurstof gebruiken. Eenvoudig om met de kinderen samen te doen en goede resultaten.
hello love! i have been very quiet in blog as of late. so nice to pop in for a visit here though. would you like me to send you some kool-aid? only if you promise not to drink it though! ;)
