I hand painted them with procion MX..a pesky business that would have been better with q-tips - but since DMCs variegated colors are so pricey, I'm hooked on making my own now
I love the sound that the needle makes ...punk, punk, punk, punk.

And when will you sell them? I was JUST searching for the same thread!!
I would never have thought to do that but what a great idea!!!
I love creating my own dyed threads. The hard part is when you get to the end of the skein and trying to remember how you got that particular color varigation. I guess I could get organized and write it down. ROFLMAO!!! Another fun way is to use press & seal saran wrap. Lay a hunk down, place your skein (tied off in several places), squirt dye in a few spots, press, seal, and wait. I think some of my favorite combos came about by using complimentary colors. Have fun!
Yes, yes, yes, it must be great FUN to stitch with those threads !!!!
Awesome! I really need to try dyeing my own, especially after seeing your results!
what restraint you exercised. Not sure I would have managed to pass by the 50% off stuff!
Your threads are of course so much better (richer, more interesting, more lively, etc.) than what one can buy as variegated!
The ready made variegated are too regular and predictable so great idea to create your own.
What a great idea to make your own! Love it!
all the stitching would be such
total surprise, then...!!!!
you are an amazement!
To see the first iteration here ... awesome
