In the old ditty, Monday was wash day. For me it's dyeing day. Having said that, let me explain that I don't die; I dye. I have a fiber shop; fiber as in wool, not as in the food product. Now if I eat dyed wool fiber, will I die going to the bathroom? Enough of that. I produce a line of Hand Painted Yarn in 3 weights. The most popular is a fingering sock weight yarn of superwash wool and nylon blend. The second is a worsted weight 100% wool yarn. The third is by special order only and that is a lace weight yarn of merino/silk/cashmere. I love seeing all those colorful skeins hanging on the laundry line...
I'd be interested to read how you go about dyeing the yarn hanging on the line. It looks so nice hanging outdoors like that!
ReplyDeleteHi Jean--Periodically, I teach a class in this method of painting yarn. It allows me to apply several colors rather than using a dye bath. If you think you might be interested, I'll add you to my list for a future class. Just contact me with your email address.
ReplyDeletereally lovely skeins - great eye for color!
ReplyDeleteThank you The Luddite. I appreciate that because I love color. Don't get me wrong. Natural colored fleece and yarns are great but winters can be long here in Maine and we need a lot of color in our lives!
