Dying

The colour changing kind I mean. I bought Mum a sock blank dying kit for Christmas from Etsy. We got it out today and dyed it up. It was great fun, an almost magical thing, changing a white machine knitted blank, in to a colourful creation. Mum's turning it in to socks as I type and it's looking beautiful. Really gradual colour changes and subtle variation.
First you disolve the dye, this was a bit of guesswork as the pot dyes 2lbs of fibre, way more than we had so I just made it up!

Then you just paint it on however you like

This was the end result.


On the spinning front, over the last couple of days I span this up.

300m of fingering weight BFL, occasionally under plied, but buttery soft, I'm really happy with it
