This weekend I took my completed handspun yarn and dyed it a suer bright red. It is only fitting that my very first handmade yarn be dyed in my favorite color. I found the process to be very easy and surprisingly enough I did not make a mess. I know I have a lot to learn about spinning and dyeing, but for my first attempt at both I think I did a decent job. Let me know what you Think!

I named the yarn "Cereza", it means Cherry in Spanish.
Until next time, Happy Knitting!
