Remember the blue roving and spun yarn I dyed in the same pot?
I finally spun up the roving. I manhandled the roving too much in the dye pot and it got a little matted so drafting was a little difficult and the resulting singles were not too uniformed. It's so interesting and very educational, thoug, how exactly the same amount of roving, dyed at the same time, turned out quite differently.
It is really a learning process. I have about four ounces of each. I think I will make Andrea's Shawl from it.
I also dyed two skein of sock yarn. One was done using Wilton food coloring colors. I was experimenting the the kettle dyeing method. Not bad.
The other skein was painted. I probably could have done the immersion dyeing and gotten the same result than the time-consuming painting it. On well, as I said before it is a learning process.
I like this one a lot.
And two more roving -- a corriedale and a cormo -- dip-dyed with Gaywool acid dyes.
Do you think I have a prolem with the color blue?
