What do you do when your Cabernet has been open too long & gone bad?
Well, I decided to dye some yarn up with it!
12 skeins were dyed on a few different bases for this batch.
It created a very light, dusty rose....I kind of wish it was repeatable as it could have been the perfect ballet shoe colorway!
The color has been a bit difficult to capture in photos, so I did take some both in direct sunlight, shade, and indirect light.
***This is hand-dyed yarn and as such no skein will be exactly the same***
