Cheapskate Warping Board (for those without power tools)

[knit_fink]

I've seen Scout's Ghetto Warping Board, and while I would love to make one, I don't own power tools nor do I have the space to use them. I wanted to make some self-striping yarn so I improvised.

What you need:* A flat surface with two edges (table, desk, kitchen island, etc.) I used the bench from my kitchen table set

Very inventive! And the resulting yarn is so lovely. I've always wanted to do some self striping yarn but didn't know how to go about getting the stripes to match up and stuff. This helps!

Do it! Knitpicks has a dyeing tutorial for using kool-aid here. You can also use cake icing or easter egg dye.
