Happy Christmas - have some blue sheep!
Dec. 24th, 2008 10:31 amLastest dyeing experiments -
masterofapath was so taken with the interesting textures achieved that he took the pics for me.
That and you couldn't help but see the stuff as it was taking over the shower when drying ;)

It's taking over the shower!

Even the shower hose itsn't safe...


It's very pretty up-close thought :)
Out of interest - this project used 3 shades of green, a blue (obviously!) and even a bit of black, took 4 batches (and the colours were topped up a bit each time), then I used the leftover dyebath to produce the nice icey colour, to save wasting the last bit.

Fluffy minty wool, all ready to spin.
Think I shall use this as a portable project while visiting people over the holidays (along with a few lots of knitting, of course ;) ).
