I finally had enough $$ to get some of that fantastic Ella Rae Lace Merino yarn to make the Featherweight Cardigan by Hannah Fettig. So, I started knitting, and after the first evening I noticed that my hand was dyed…from the yarn…exactly where I held the working yarn and the sweater on the needles! Since it was the 4th of July, I said, “Oh my stars and stripes!” I washed my hands and it fades a little every day. But I keep knitting more and more, and so my hands get “overdyed.” Perhaps this is an alternative to a tattoo?

Recent empty nesters relocate from house in middle of Indiana cornfield to condo near downtown Salt Lake City. I'm the knitter, he's the diner. Together we explore the city!

Oh my! I’ve not had others report of the bleeding problem. Is it a problem for you?? Do you think it’ll affect the intensity of the colors if you wash it with synthrapol (I have some if you don’t) or vinegar?? Lea-Ann

Here’s my plan…I’ll wash/block it and see how much color comes out. I don’t think it will be a lot. Then I’ll never wear a white blouse under it! I think that should do the trick. I still like this yarn!
