Jeanne has already covered our dyeing adventures of last Saturday evening on her blog. I’ll just add that we probably need to work on diluting our dye stock quite a bit more – and not with wine! But dang, that pinot noir sure went down smooth…
The skein on the left is 345 yards of GEMS Merino fingering weight from several years ago. It started out cream-colored and was dyed with a mixture of violet/black and red/black. The two skeins on the right are each 225 yards of GEMS Merino sportweight (also from several years ago). They started out taupe and were dyed with a mixture of violet/black and green/black.
“What have we here, sitting in the middle of my domain?”
“Oh, let me get up here so I can really check it out.”
Love the yarn – such fab colours!
The dyeing is coming along beautifully! Love the colors… looks as though you are getting more control of the outcome, even if you do think the colors are oversaturated (hey, that’s the way I like ’em… providing they don’t rub off all over everything else).
You’re my hero! 🙂
beautiful yarn, especially the green and purple, my favorite colors ya know. 🙂
I loves the yarn on the left. I wants it. I covets it.
