What fun I have been having with spinning and dyeing. The top photo I have dyed the wool first into separate different coloured tops. From each top I have taken about 1 metre lengths.
Then using each colour I have selected I spin up in a continuous yarn in a random order.
I am hoping shortly to show what I have knitted and the effect it has. Stripes without joining
so many different yarns saving time on weaving in the ends.
The bottom photo I have the white which I left, but have plied with white and silver yarn.
The pink is "Landscape : Poppy" and just love the result leaving plenty of white as with the black and white. The burnt red and green is a new colour scheme for me. The black and green and black and purple just happened as I was experimenting. I told you I was having fun.
