Last week I knitted up a hat from Deb in bright red Brown Sheep Burly Spun.  The hat looked great and then I washed it.  The colour bled and the hat grew so that it was big enough for a giant.  I decided I had to frog it and start over.  Last night, after the hat was finally dry (Burly Spun is very bulky), I frogged the hat.  Don't I look just delighted in this photo?

I skeined it up and washed the yarn again today and it bled again.  It stopped bleeding after the third wash and I've hung it up to dry as I need to get the kinks out.  I decided to wash up some other yarn that also needed it.  George took this photo.



The skeins are hanging from the potrack over our kitchen sink and I put hangers on them to add some weight.  I'll get around to knitting Deb's hat again someday.
