Trial for Dyeing Tiger Sock Blanks

This morning was such a fun dye day. The past three days were spent collaborating with my artist daughter about color, how to make certain colors, how to place on fabric. Thank you dearest!
   I started this project about two weeks ago when the Loops and Thread Knitting Machine came from Michaels. The Dyer's Supply yarn came soon after. I chose the Nice and Round Fingering yarn. Once those were all delivered, the sock blank was made. We will do a video on making sock blanks by hand in another video in this session. Let me add that making your own bare sock blanks saves you about $14 over buying them. They can be purchase already knit into blanks from several sources, but my favorite is KnitPicks Yarn.
   The recipe for the colors:
Brown - 1/4 cup water; 1 tsp Wilton's Brown food dye
Yellow - 1/2 cup water; 1 tsp Wilton's Golden Yellow food dye
Rust/Orange - 1 3/4 cups water; 20 drops RED Kroger liquid food coloring; 26 drops YELLOW Kroger food color;  Mixed separately is 1/4 cup water and 1 drop of BLUE. To the Yellow and Red, you will add 40 drops of the mixed Blue
