Transformation

All things change. Sometimes things change for the better:
before yarn
This is 8/2 cotton yarn, for dishtowels or clothing, or.... I used to love (and wear) these bright clear colors often.

Now, I like these more muted colors:
after yarn2

Same yarns, just before and after a dyebath to tone them all down a bit, take them down a notch in intensity, so that they would be more comfortable to be around, not screaming so much for attention!

Transformation: a little dye, and little water, and time. Things can change, for good or ill. This time I added dye. Sometimes it just takes time, and sometimes it's just the water:

Why fight it, sometimes a little graying is just what we need!! I love the toned down colors.
