I never would have thought to dye with avocado pits, that is so cool! Thanks for sharing, definitely learned something today!

Yes avocado pits and skin works to dye. Glad I could add something new to your day! ;)

very nice knitting yarn

Thank you!

Wow, those looks just as expected. Super earthy tones.

I was expecting a bit darker colours but I'm still learning. Next time I'll try more extract to get different shades. Thank you for your comment!

I've never done anything like this, but maybe add something darker? coffee? just a little to darken up what you already did.

did the coloring is stable with the time?

I'm also very curious to see how long these colours last. I have no experience but I will make a podcast in a few months time to check in on how these yarns are holding up.
