1.3.11 Dye projects

I dragged out the dye pot and dyed some of the last of my DHF top. (Truly wonderful stuff, I'm going to want to get some more.)

I'm experimenting with a couple of different ways to do this. This one was not entirely satisfactory in the fiber form (a little too much white in the result), but I'll wait to pass judgement until I've got it spun up.

One of the things I like about this is that I usually wind up with an unexhausted pot and then some more dyeing can be done for pastels. Seasilk (about 700 yards) which went home with my Mom when she was here.
