Killer Tomato Roving

This is an overdye of the yellow superwash Oops from the Wool Shed. Sadly, I didn't get all the way to the core of the roving with all of the dyes, so there's something of a yellow core to it all and the resulting yarn hasn't been nearly as bright as this roving promised.

I may well paint the yarn again and see what happens. I'd started with Kool-Aid dyes and then put some Gaywool "Tomato" on top when it wasn't red enough for me. *grin*

Ooooh, I really like that one! It looks like leaves in the beginning of autumn, when there's still some green mixed up with the gold and red. I think it came out great. :)

Thank you!! It is very Colorado autumny, with all the yellow in the yarn that came out, but enough red and orange highlights with that touch of green that it *is* pretty.

I'm thinking baby jacket. :-) Since it can be machine washed, and should be warm. mmmm...
