Whenever I'm standing in the yarn aisle I am amazed at all the fantastic colors, yet sometimes I wish there was just something else. I'm sure many of you have been in a similar situation, and now with the Tulip Yarn Dye Kit from I Love to Create, we can take the art of dyeing yarn into our own hands!

The Custom Color Lab Yarn Dye Kit comes in a variety of color options: Modern (yellow, turquoise, teal and grey), Cool (this comes in fun spring colors like dark blue, teal, grass green and yellow), Playful (hot pink, yellow, red, dark blue), and Vintage (peach, teal, brown and black). Inside each kit are four 4 fl. oz. bottles with dye powder, three pairs of gloves and an inspiration guide. All you have to do is add water and shake it up to mix; you'll get consistent color, permanent results and there isn't a heat setting required, which allows quick results. Dyes can be mixed and matched for any color you desire. Looking for a rainbow yarn, a tie dye yarn, or even a mix of colors on one skein that doesn't originally exist, then you're going to love this kit.

If you're looking for a lighter shade of color, then pour some of the dye out and add more water until you get the desired shade. Do not add water to dye bottle until you are prepared to use it. You want to apply the dye within 24 hours after mixing it. You'll also want to make sure excess dye dust is removed from your work space; this is tricky because it is invisible until it reacts with water.

This kit works best with cotton yarn, and it can be worsted weight, chunky weight or even lace weight. You'll want to dampen the yarn before you dye it for best results. Just like when tie dyeing a t-shirt, you'll want to wrap your dyed yarn in plastic wrap and let it sit until rinsing with water. 

This can be such a fun process if you decide to use multiple colors as you won't know the exact look until it's ready. Make a new solid color or make a fun variegated yarn; the options are endless!
