I’ve been excited thinking of dying my acrylic yarn and tried it immediately on a finished knitted summer top.
Unfortunately I must have had the wrong acrylic paint because it washed out completely.
But after drying the summer top looked amazing: light coloured in the center and getting darker at neck and hem.
Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture.
Well, I will try it again and then I’ll try to think of taking pictures ;-)
Ehm, and then I can also try again colouring fabric with acrylic paint ;-)
