Remember that apple green from the other day? It was beautiful, but not quite what I was going for. My heart wanted evergreen. So I gave it another go in the dye pot-- this time over-dyed with Procion Teal.
On the left: Teal Blue over-dyed leaf green on alpaca and highland wool yarn. This one has a nice glow and depth to it -- as I often see with over-dyed items. The teal blue did a nice job of taming that apple green. This is a definite contender!
On the right: As an insurance policy, I also dyed another batch of alpaca + highland wool yarn with Procion Evergreen, since I found a jar of it in my stash. It's a little bit bluer, but still green.
Still trying to decide which one I'll use in the next circle scarf. I still need to fix the heddle threading.
Just as a reminder, here's that leaf green I started with. Just a little too bright!
