You could say - Kermit threw up on it and I wouldn't be insulted! Something had to be done.
So - enter my pal Erin and a wonderful night at her studio and you get this!
I had so much fun! A couple other friends were over for wine and conversation while I took up my post at the dye pot...
It was so much fun to see the color change from Kermit ick to beauty!
Here's my sample that I used to make sure I had the right concoction...
I'm cooking yarn spagetti!
(This pic brings a whole new meaning to "yummy yarn!")
Anyway - after it cooled off...
I went home with a fabulous new Box - o yarn!
Just in time for St Patty's Day too!
Just in case you didn't notice the full impact of the before and after - here's a pic to highlight just how much it changed...
Happy Friday everyone! Have a great weekend!

I LOVE the new yarn!!
The new color is gorgeous!
One of the pitfalls of buying yarn online is that sometimes the color turns out different in person! I've been disappointed a few times myself.
wow. what a transformation - ugly frog to beautiful prince! :) I actually did that this morning with some purple yarn I was sick of. Dyed it red and now I have a great burgandy!
I'm so glad you were able to save it!

So gorgeous! Didya name it? Since it started as Kermit vomit and now you're ready for St Paddy's Day - how about "Kermie Go Bragh"?
Someone's gone photoshop happy -
you're photoshappy!
Beautiful dye job! I like green in all shades, but I think I would have overdyed this one as well. :o)
Your new yarn is fabulous! With the added bonus of being able to say "I dyed it myself".
Much better! I liked the Kermit yarn, but the new colors in it are gorgeous!
That is definitely a happy ending!
The dye job looks FABULOUS!!!! So, there IS hope for ugly yarn after all....just a simple "make-over"!
Oh that's so pretty! What a wonderful transformation!
