I said I was done spinning boring ol' white wool.........I have to eat those words!.....Why? Just look at the results of the skein from the dyeing board! It is incredible and if I have to spin boring to get this, I am willing to do it!
The yarn unwound without a single tangle-every step of the process was worth results like these!
The roving always looks so abused after dyeing-looks how beautiful it becomes after a bit of drafting (pulling the fibers apart along thier length just a bit to fluff it up again). A nice visual and it is all ready to spin now! (Except I am spinning some more blank wool first so I can dye again!)
You resisted for a while, but it sounds like the bug has bitten you hard!
ReplyDeleteThe yarn is so pretty...I am anxiously awaiting my new Mediterranean-vineyard socks...! :-)
The pictures don't do it justice how beautiful the colors came out.I have witnessed it in person and it is a work of art and to be appreciated The Husband
