Best wool yarn to dye/paint?

little.rose · 2012-07-30 10:02:32

hi there, I'm going to give yarn painting a go. Can anyone suggest a yarn (rather than roving) that is the best to work with?

Presumably you are talking about sticking yarn down onto a drawn outline to create a coloured picture? You can use any type of yarn, more important is the colour, thickness and texture of the yarn.

hi there, no - I'm looking to produce hand painted yarns and looking for undyed yarn to use. Think I've seen some on etsy that suits quantity and availability thanks though!:)
