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.
