Wintertime Fun: Dye Your Own Wool
It’s gonna be a long winter, folks, and there’s going to come a moment when you’re wishing for a bit of indoor fun, a diversion. Something new.
Please say hello to our Wool Tincture Dye Kits.
These kits make for easy dyeing. The easiest, actually—your kitchen will be fine, and you won’t end up with an indigo vat that feels like an exotic pet to tend to. (Fair warning, though: once you try out hand dyeing, you will quite possibly end up going down the indigo rabbit hole, and we applaud that.)
We’ve had a fine time trying these little kits out, and we think you’ll have fun with them too.
A Variety of Options for You
Option 1: Use your own wool. We’ve got four colorways of Wool Tincture Dyes Bundles. Overdyeing can be a lot of fun, if you’ve got yarn that you wish were, you know, not that color anymore.
Option 2: Start fresh and choose our bundle that includes six skeins of our Atlas 100% Rambouillet yarn. (We have additional natural Atlas to add to your bundle if six seems like a paltry amount of yarn for a dedicated dyeing experiment.)
Note that this bundle gives you a savings of $45 off the regular price of six skeins of Atlas. A fantastic deal, only when you order this bundle.
Four Colorways
We’ve got three sets with two tea bags each of five colors. And one set with ten colors with one tea bag each. Also included is the citric acid used to prepare the wool—a mild, odorless powder.
These acid dye kits include complete instructions. Your dyeing will vary, of course, but here’s how our Atlas dyed up. (Each photo shows the colors that come in each colorway.)

So pretty, right? We’re all fighting over who gets these skeins. The possible hats, cowls, scarves, and mittens are making our head spin.

All of these colors are gorgeous and very tempting!
I have read the descriptions several times, but I don’t seem to see how much yarn each sachet will dye. Just one? Two? Or??
Hi Lois! Here’s a little mathiness for ya!
Each tea bag will dye 100 grams of wool. That’s the equivalent of 2 skeins of our Atlas yarn, which is 50 grams per skein.
Three of the kits have five colors, with 2 tea bags of each color. This means you can get 200 grams of wool dyed in each color, for these three kits.
One of the kits has ten colors, with 1 tea bag of each color. A rainbow! This kit means you can get 100 grams of wool dyed in each color.
**Of course I meant how many skeins!!**
Ooh . . . Lilac and Moonbow . . .
VERY interesting – I love that moss color. Wow! And wouldn’t that Chroma set look amazing knit up as a Tulip cardigan for a baby (you know, the striped one)?
Also, I now miraculously have an avatar picture ?!?!?!?
HI PAM GOOD TO SEE YOU! No idea how that happened but hey, we’re loving seeing you. ; )
these are so cool!
Gosh wouldn’t it be fun to dye one’s own yarn for a 1999 Pullover?! I’ve been trying to wrap my head around quantities because I know it is a choose-your-own-striping-adventure pattern.
