Category Archives: Dyeing I’m back! I’ve been swamped with photo work and the Tour de Fleece (more about that in a bit) but get ready for post overload. Here’s all I’ve gotten dyed so far this month (for shame). “Primerica” – superwash merino “Jungle” – BFL “Plum Cake” – superwash merino But I’ve got the dyeing bug so...  BFL is what I’ve been dyeing as of late: “Santa Fe” 4 ounces “Lavender Fawn” 4 ounces “Sugarpop” 4 ounces I also treated myself to some stash enhancement. I just couldn’t resist the fibers in this batt from LaTeaDa Designs on Etsy. The fiber content is llama, alpaca, and camel! I’ll let you know how...  Recently added to my fiber bookshelves is the beautiful book: Harvesting Color: How to Find Plants and Make Natural Dyes by Rebecca Burgess and photographed stunningly by Paige Green. As a user of acid dyes myself, the idea of using natural dyes intrigued me, but at the same time, intimidated me. I’d heard the process is...  100% peruvian wool 150 yards Shades of orange, rust, tan, and gray Gotta love those roving-style singly ply yarns! |
