Dyepot Weekly #21 - Overdyeing Highlighter Yellow Sock Yarn with Wilton’s Food Coloring

Let’s over dye some neon yellow yarn! Sometimes you don’t have access to bare (undyed) yarn or you pick up a lot of a color you don’t like on sale. Can you change the color to something you love? YES! (Note: I started out dyeing because I had too much off white yarn in my stash left over from a project and I wanted to give it some oomph. Over dyeing is awesome!) In this video, we dyed 2 - 50 g balls of KnitPicks Stroll Fingering weight yarn in “Highlighter Yellow“ (Affiliate Link). Stroll is 75% superwash merino / 25% nylon and we reguarly dye the bare version on this channel.
