Dyeing Day
Its a process of me adding color to my handspun yarn. Dyeing my yarn is done with Jacquard Acid Dyes. Today, I made up 2 dye stocks of Sky Blue and Brown, then I set them aside to cool. I'll use these to dye 4 other skeins of yarn another day. Today though I'm combining 1 part violet and 1 part scarlet dye stock to make a red violet.
This is the first skein of my handspun white alpaca yarn in the dye pot, I have one more skein to dye after this one. This is my first attempt at blending 2 dye stocks together and it really looks terrific.
