(this stuff is from a sheep named Dot. I recently found out she met a tragic end at the jaws of a coyote... RIP Dot, you'll live on in your lovely, soft, creamy fleece.)
So I got out my crockpot and some Wilton's icing gels (AKA food colouring) and got busy.
Superwash Merino/Mohair/Nylon blend from Paradise Fiber:
I used Teal, Kelly Green, and Golden Yellow with a bit of No Taste Red.
I love how it turned out. I can't wait to see how it looks spun and knitted up into socks!!
Also I finished one of my black bean socks and started the next one. Perhaps I might have to go for a little forage in the woods later today and see if I can get some oak galls.
Or maybe I could dye some handspun with the onion skins my friend Esther has been saving for me...
Or perhaps I should try out the logwood chips I purchased when I was at Maiwa in December.
Or maybe I should go write more of my thesis.... :P
