What’s the best way to lighten up a dreary grey day here in the Pacific Northwest? To dye your own rainbow, of course! I’ve been wanting to dye some rainbow sock yarn for months… but there was never enough time (or opportunity, with all of the littles underfoot). So…. I waited for the perfect opportunity (AKA naptime) and went for it.

I decided to try dyeing my “rainbow” two different ways (on separate skeins). I wanted to do a “self-striping” skein and then a handpainted skein - and contrast the two methods.

This pair of socks is from the hand-painted skein (hand-painted in all the colors of the rainbow).
