PNW Forest: take two

I learned from my "mistakes" and added vinegar to the presoaking water (and I sprayed some on after painting). I also made sure to steam the yarn longer. It still lost some blue; but I had compensated by making the colors a bit more blue overall. The drying skeins all look so blotchy. Bad '60s tie-dye is the description my supportive husband uses.



But once swatched...
