My First Hand Dying

Inspired by Helen and Jen's efforts I decided to have a go at dying some undyed Opal sock yarn from Get Knitted. I used grape, pink lemonade and cherry. I was suprised how well it took the dye. I was expecting it to take ages of heating and soaking before the liquid went clear but it happened almost right away. It's still a bit wet. Can't wait to see what it looks like knitted. The photo doesn't really show the colours very well.
