Refashioning a refashion

Bought at a charity shop - lovely soft cashmere but it made me look too rosy.
Sew up the bottom and tie the arms together and it's a bag - used a lot and displayed in the window of the Oxfam Shop in Horsham.
I took the bag apart and put it in the dye pot.


I have too many bags and it is a lovely soft jumper, so today I dyed it violet. A good colour for me and it will be worn a lot next winter.

Gorgeous color! Did you boil the sweater when you dyed it? And it didn't felt?? Any hot tips?

It was hot but not boiling. It didn't felt or shrink. I think ignorance is bliss because I didn't know cashmere could felt - so no tips I'm afraid.
