My daughter chose 3 colours and I really struggled to find a way to use those colours. I wouldn't have chosen to out orange with purple and blue, but that's what my daughter wanted! I decided to do a base layer of orange, then sprinkle purple and blue on top with ice. My daughter is very happy with the outcome!

Fibre reactive dyes can be used on plant based fibre and animal based fibres. Acid dyes can only be used on animal based fibres.

I have a monthly yarn subscription that can be purchased through my Patreon:   / fromthecauldron   Each month you'll receive 100g of yarn in your chosen weight dyed in a mystery colourway and some goodies made by other small businesses. Another perk for Patreons is they get early access to the video where I dye that month's yarn and they get to vote for next month's theme.
