Hot

Our run of incredibly warm late winter weather continues--as does my pursuit of sunset colours. I bought some extra white wool top the other day to do some more dyeing experiments. When my eye hit on this orange, it had to come home with me too.



















So, I have this running through my fingers at the spinning wheel and a skein in the dye pot brewing a pink-orange combination. The forecast is for showers later today, but I don't think I care!

Chasing Rainbows

I got back to some spinning on the weekend. And the logical follow-on was a bit of dyeing. Here's one of the skeins.

























I was chasing sunset colours. That's a never-ending game. I came up with some happy products, which I'm planning to use for a few scarves. Meanwhile I'm learning a bit more about how different proportions of my dyes work out in the pot.
