This is the finished product of the dye day.
I used dark , color saturated green and blue to highlight the cable and lace area of the socks and then put the leftover blue and green into a bowl and soaked the socks for an hour. This way I got the beauty and unevenness of a dye bath and the accent of color where I wanted it, too. I used the left over dye that the socks didn't take up and used it to dye 2 small skeins of the suffolk yarn for a pair of socks for me-more on that next post!
