A Nice Surprise

I had some old Paton's Classic Wool laying around, it was an abomination.  Bright teal colored and I couldn't think of anything to use it for.  I had been using it to practice lace patterns that I thought looked a bit complicated,  but that was all.   After my semi success with the KP I decided to over dye it using just Black Cherry to see how that came out.  Nothing thrilling,   I didn't take before picture and I didn't take after pictures of the skein since it was just and experiment. 
I ended up knitting the yarn into a Deep Sea Flower Dice Bag for Ruben.

As I said, nothing spectacular.  But.... I had tied the skein with some yarn from a sweater I'm making for Bryan.  It's KP's Wool of the Andes in the Mist color.  There I got a pleasant surprise. 

The gray went a lovely reddish brown color.   I wondered what I would do with the leftovers, and now I know!
