Oogy started organizing an annual Dyeing Extravaganza when she moved to the country. The idea was to get a few of us together for a weekend of spinning, dyeing, knitting, eating, drinking, etc. The first year was awesome in person, and then we went remote because of COVID last year, and this year, too. For this year's event we opted for a palette of neon bright colors. This idea may have started as a way to celebrate Pride month, but it took hold because we all need some brightness after 18 months of dealing with this pandemic.

We chose PRO WashFast Acid dyes in colors: flavine yellow, hot pink, brilliant blue, brilliant violet, key lime, and bright orange.

| We also had long tubes of sock yarn that Oogy made with her sock machine, and a few mini skeins to use for toes and heels. |
We each set up our dye studios and for 2 hours had a blast on Zoom trying new ways to apply dye to the wool. Here are my results:

| The sock tubes were a new challenge! |

| I'm looking forward to working with these bright colors! |
