The above is another one of my experiments with egg dye. This time I also found some blue food coloring which turned out significantly more greenish than the blue egg dye (E 133 Brilliant Blue). Anyway, just so I won’t forget:

Blue: mostly Brilliant Blue, a small patch of red egg dye (which blended with the blue egg dye and the BB, turning a violet color), some blue egg dye and some indigo egg dye.
Green: 2-3 tablets yellow egg dye turned it a light yellow, also used green egg dye on about half of the skein.
Reddish: more red egg dye than I care to remember. Took forever in the microwave. Also applied some indigo egg dye and some leftover Brilliant Blue. Turned out very well, though probably with less color variation than the blue. Also this wool seemed a little ‘oilier’ than the one I dyed blue and green, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Oh, and yes, the picture is rotated the wrong way but I kind of like it that way.
