Louet Hand Dyed Socks Project Kit
(Make your own custom dyed socks with this handy kit!) Trudy Van Stralen has designed this kit using Louet's Gems merino superwash wool yarn. This is a preferred yarn by many hand dyers and has a unique twist giving it great loft, elasticity and stitch definition. Trudy has combined this great yarn with acid dyes by Gaywool, distributed by Louet North America. The dying process is one step mixing the dye in hot water, that was it. Much easier than I thought it would be .Trudy's technique and recipe is a simple, safe, in your kitchen method of creating your own hand dyed yarn. The Hand Dye Kit comes in 5 colorways: Blues, Pinks, Greens, Reds, and Browns. http://paradisefibersartist.blogspot.com/











I'm finally done with my Louet Hand Dyed Sock Kit and they are just gorgeous. It is hard to believe that only three colors of dye created that effect. The entire project was pretty easy. The dyeing seemed to be pretty much error proof, I didn't even have a measuring cup to make sure I used the right amount of water. The dye is really colorfast too. I liked the pattern for the socks as well. I think the type of ribbing really shows off the colors well. The best thing is that I have enough yarn left over to make another pair of socks! I only used half the yarn that came in the kit to make these, and my feet aren't particularly tiny or anything. I just followed their pattern for a womens medium. The cuffs are 7-8 inches long, so the kit really gives you plenty of yarn which is great for some accessories. The Louet Gems Fingering Weight yarn that comes in the kit is wonderful. It is very soft and just a pleasure to work with. Knitting these socks was ultra rewarding for especially when I wear them. :)
