To the Dye Pot

I am very glad that the shop has had such a good start, but I didn't expect to deplete my inventory so quickly. So today I dyed all day.

I thought I would post a picture of the progress:

New Fiber:

New fiber to dye!

I just received a box of rovings to dye! Lots of colorways I want to try are in the plans!

New additons to the shop

 

over dyeing an ugly yarn

Sometimes the loveliest roving can turn out to be a hideous yarn. I had a sweet butter yellow roving with splotches of pastels throughout. It looked like something you would want to cuddle up with. I spun a 2 ply fingering weight yarn. The poor stuff looked like something that might have been pretty once but had yellowed with age. Blah!

So today I made a light blue dye bath and through the thing in. After a few minutes I thought, hey I should have taken a picture of that! ah well.

So it is soaking in the dye bath as I type. It has already turned a beautiful baby blue-green with lavender and other pastel blips.

pictures to follow.
