Color Correction

I'm one to waste not want not, especially when it comes to fiber.  Sometimes a dye bath or paint job goes bad.  One thing is that you can turn anything brown and that works for men's wear so that's the worst that can happen to an overdye job.  It's perfectly ok with me because I prefer to use different shades of browns and blacks when I'm doing multiple yarn knitting projects.  So here I am...fessing up on how I corrected some ugly colors....

Here are the uglies.
I overdyed the greenish yarn olive...

The pink/orange got a bath of royal blue

The blue/brown hat got a wash of golden ochre, then a rinse in chartreause

The brown hat had some white specks that I didn't like, so I colorwashed the hat in a bath of burnt  orange.

The Results

The olive wash came out perfect...

The royal wash solved some of the problems but I feel I should have purple washed it because I don't like the blue. May purple wash it later..turn the blues purple and the greens brown...that would be better

Fun with this hat!!!...I love the outcome!!!

Finally the burnt orange just added that little halo of color to the hat and took care of the white spots.
