Continuously tossing coffee grounds seemed super wasteful. Sometimes we save them for a neighbor's compost, but since they color the water when making coffee, I figured I might be able to get some pretty colors out of running them through the coffee maker again for some yarn!
12 skeins were dyed on a few different bases for this batch.
It created a very light, golden yellow.
***This is hand-dyed yarn and as such no skein will be exactly the same***
