Put overdying isn't just limited to fixing things I've dyed for the shop.
Long-time readers may recognize the following picture as a huge hank of Fiddlesticks Country Silk I got about two years ago.
Over the past two years, I've started several patterns with it, but nothing suited it. Honestly, I think I've just out-grown the colours a little. If they were socks, I think it would be okay, but I have more than 800 yards and was thinking a nice shawl.So... on Saturday, I dumped it in a bowl of dark blue.
That's better! It's just too bad I have so much Christmas knitting to do - I'd love to cast on with this now.

I do love the effect of your over-dye more than the original.
Much nicer!
Oh I love it! I've overdyed before, but I've never tried overdyeing yarn I purchased (just yarn I messed up dyeing, LOL). Great idea, its beautiful!
That's MUCH better!
I love that colour! Very nice. Can't the Christmas knitting wait? I want to see what you make with it.
It will be a gorgeous shawl!
It's sooo much nicer!
Oh yeah - overdyeing is the bomb! The shading in the new blue will be such fun to knit with!
Oh my GOSH, that's gorgeous!! Nice work!
