Crystal Lights: Comparison Shot
The color of the two on the sides didn't come out great in picture, but at least this picture finally captures the color of the angel hair dye. The angel hair and the corridale on the right were both dyed with pretty much the same dye -- half a packet of cherry pomegranite crystal light -- and look how different their colors came out. I'm curious to see how much of the color difference can be attributed to their being different fibers (the angel hair is a superwash merino, the corridale is fawn ecru corridale) and how much of it is different fiber-being-dyed amounts (as you can see, the angel hair is probably an ounce, while the corridale was 20 ounces. Big difference). The corridale on the left was dyed with a combination of Crystal Light lemonade and cherry pomigranite. I was going to dye it just with the lemonade, but the color didn't seem to come out well (the fiber was kind of yellow-ish to begin with), so I started mixing in cherry pomigranite. It looks almost undyed in the picture, but there is some color to it in real life -- still, might re-dye it tomorrow. Not enthralled with the color. Or I might just spin it with the pure cherry pomigranite and do a candy-cane-ish thing. Not sure yet.
