As Tina wrote last week, we took a little drive to Asheville to visit all the lovely vendors at SAFF. It is the candy store for fiber folks!!! One of the things I kept seeing in the booths were dryer balls....I use them here at home, too. They really do reduce drying time!
I also saw a piece about dryer balls on one of the morning shows last week....you would think this is a brand new invention! I made mine a few years ago with some wool yarn I had here at the house.
So, with the Foothills show creeping up on us, I got out some wool yarn (part of the stinky yarn that came in a few years back....it just needed a lot of fresh air!) And, I finally got to play with Kool-Aid dyeing in the microwave oven!!!
Just so you know, one package dyes one ounce of yarn.
And, since I had the heating element replaced on the water heater, I have HOT water, which really makes a difference.
It's not a biggie...but it is a little something to add to our booth.
I still have a lot of sewing to get finished on my other items.
Back to work....

I bet the Kool-Aid made them smell better, too, didn't it?
