QuestionIs it better to dye yarn before you make a garment, or after?KamilCommunity AnswerDyeing yarn before making a garment usually gives you a more even color and lets you be creative with different color patterns. It's also easier to predict how the final piece will look. However, dyeing after making the garment can cover up any inconsistencies in the yarn and is good for simple, one-color projects. Both ways have pros and cons, so it depends on your project and your comfort.

QuestionI want to dye a stained pistachio (light green) colored cashmere sweater, what colors do you think would work best?KamilCommunity AnswerDarker Green Shades: Colors like forest green, olive, or emerald can effectively cover the light pistachio base. Browns or Earth Tones: Browns, from lighter tans to deeper chocolate tones, could blend well with the pistachio base to give a natural, earthy color. Purple or Burgundy: These colors can mix interestingly with the light green base, potentially creating a rich, deep color. However, it's a bit of a riskier choice as the final result can vary widely. Black or Dark Gray: If you want a complete transformation, black or dark gray can usually cover up lighter colors. However, achieving an even, saturated black over a light green base might require multiple dyeing sessions.
