r/YarnDyeing

Spicebush (kinda? This one’s a stretch 🤣), Wineberry, Pokeberry

Very chaotic dye sessions lately but this was lotsa fun, even if they need some work.

I have a sweater quantity of this 100% merino wool, but the color is not exactly what I had in mind. This was bought a year ago so no chance of returning it, and I've tried to start so many projects with it but always end up disliking it. I wanted to hear your honest opinion, coming from someone that has zero experience in dyeing yarn: how difficult would it be to dye it a darker shade, more like the second image? Even if it's slightly darker it would already make a huge difference for me. I don't intend to spend too much with materials though.

I crocheted this blanket a few years back and love the stitching, but not the color. the color is cold and just doesn’t fit the blanket if you know what I mean. is there a way to dye it evenly and if so, what colors would you suggest?

update to add: it’s superwash merino wool

Hi everyone. I’m new to textile art and I need help with finding the right dye for what I’m looking to do. I want to use only natural materials if possible. My base yarn is going to be a wool mix and a cotton mix. These are the colours I’m trying to make. I am a complete beginner so any help would be wonderful
