the roommates are gone for the week, which means i take over the house (and the porch) for dyeing!
and some drying
i did almost 2 lbs of tan cvm last week and yesterday i dyed 5 lbs of white cvm
the tan cvm – done in crock pots
left to do? 5 lbs of cindy’s super soft lovely shetland, 3 lbs of corriedale, and 3 more lbs of the tan cvm… and maybe that’s it! i need more wool :) with the extra time, i might have to dye up some recycled sweater yarn.
so. you can look forward to me babbling about dyeing, since inquiring minds want to know, an all fiber shop update on wednesday (mostly older stuff, but expect the new next week!), and a review of the greener shades dyes, once the week is through and we are further aquainted.

Awesome dye session. I just love that green and yellow yarn (top pic, lower right) Its purdy! Is there a touch of orange as well?
Wow! That’s a lot of great, vibrant colour. I think I just fully woke up :)
I cannot wait to hear more about your dyeing methods, yay!
Such pretty pictures, as always!
You could always drive out to the fiber show in Wooster, OH this weekend and pick up more! :)
Such gorgeous colors! Mmmm… wool. *drools*
Fun fun! What a wonderful way to enjoy the Spring. Your yarns are gorgeous as always. I look forward to learning more about dyeing, too!
