11.6 Dyeing again


plumsplit
This time I dyed some fiber. Using the same basic technique, but allowing the temperature to go a bit higher, I wound up having to rinse only twice before it ran clear. A significant improvement over the dyeing with yarn and red dye earlier. This was a pound of Dunnose Head Farm white and will probably get spun up soon as I have the itch to play with it.

Beautiful. Seriously beautiful. I need to keep some of the stuff I dye instead of giving it away and selling it all.

That is just beautiful! You did a wonderful with the dyeing and I can't wait to see how it spins up.

I especially like the light to dark aspect and the vivid color. Nice!

I need to somehow carve out some time for dyeing...
