The magic room
Friday, January 15, 2010 at 7:24PM
Inside this room is the magic powder.
The magic powder is very messy.
The magic powder is not for people with OCD. It would make you twitchy.
Inside this little room, the magic powder is mixed with water and other magic powders to make stock solutions. Stock solution is the cocktail of dye, water, and auxiliaries that we use to dye our yarn.
Once the stock solution is ready, it gets poured into smaller containers for ease of use.
These are much easier to handle than a gallon jug when you want 1/8 of a teaspoon of something. But when a small container like this gets dropped, it can send a splash all the way up to the ceiling. Now imagine a gallon jug of dye on your floor.
Yeah, it's happened to me. Royal blue, 2008. You never forget.
No one ever said being a yarnista was for the faint of heart.

Being a Yarnista maybe isn't for the faint of heart, but your door is really pretty :)
I'm agree! It's UNIQUE!
Oooh! Looks like a fun place to play!
