Featured Artist - Knit It Good



This week's featured artist is Knit It Good. To all you yarn-lovin' fools out there, this is a fabulous place to get hand-dyed yarn at a very reasonable price. Alexandria started dying yarn after seeing someone online post pictures of their hand-dyed kool-aid yarn. So she gave that a try and dyed 6 skeins of worsted weight yarn and hasn't stopped since!

She always start the dying processing by giving each skein(usually does 2-3 at a time) a water/vinegar bath for at least 30 minutes. Once the 30 minutes is up, she dyes each skein the way she wants (or you want, if it's a custom color order). Sometimes they don't come out the she wanted them; but then again, sometimes they're better!

You can visit her shop at http://aands81.etsy.com or her other websites: www.knittinghelp.com and www.craftster.com.
