What’s in the pot?
Posted By Michele on September 25, 2008
Thursday AM, I have been dying. Wool yarn that is.
I hada cone of some nice wool, but in a colorway that does not hold much appeal. The yarn blooms a lot after washing, and knits and felts very nicely. But such an ugly unappealing colorway. So, I wound it into 50 gram skeins,, and have been dying it. The results are on the wash line and in the pot as I type.
The photo on the right is the “unappealing” colorway. The skeins are about 50 grams each and have about 140 yards per skein. You can find them at Loose Ends as soon as they are dry. $7 each.
Oh, and my high tech dying equipment? An old Nesco roaster sitting on a beat up folding chair outside my back door!
