Sky

There are patches of blue in the sky today! And I have enough natural light to photograph this addition to my blue brew collection. It's the feltable wool I picked up for a bargain price recently--now hand-dyed and unfelted.

I'm still planning the blanket I mean to make with the various hand dyed sky blue skeins. Meanwhile I was able to pick up another ten balls of this yarn in white at the same price. I want to do some samples and a colour wheel with my Landscape dyes.

In other news, the brighter light is showing up the dust bunnies and cobwebs around the house very clearly, so a bit of cleaning is also on the priority list.

Blue Brew

I brewed up a dye pot this morning. The yarn has been hanging around for a long time. I initially painted the wool with earth palette dyes on a hot day.  Today it's wintry and landscape dyes on the stove were the order of the day. Both colours were called "sky", but evidently they weren't the same. That's just fine.

I'll be interested to see how the different colour distributions turn out when they're knitted up. I don't have a definite plan, but I have 600 grams. I'm wondering about a blanket with perhaps some navy wool to finish it off.
