Ahhhh…Dye High
Every now and again I get a craving to dye fiber, and I just don’t feel right until I do it. Lately with all the “disasters” and whatnot going on, the craving starting coming on again. I KNOW I’m supposed to be working on making shirts and jewelry to sell at cons, but it got bad enough that last night I finally broke down and spent some time dying a sweater’s worth of nice recycled 100% Merino wool.
It’s a colorway I’ve been rolling around in my mind for awhile and will likely make again. I’m calling it “Fire in the Sky.” It’s an Orange/Blue/Purple mix on a 6-foot repeat. It’s so very pretty! I love the way it looks hanging up in hanks. I had originally planned to have yellow in there, but in the middle of dyeing it I decided the yellow wouldn’t work with the color combination. It turned out just lovely without it. I’ll have some pictures up soon!
Speaking of pictures, once I get this new yarn skeined up and labeled, I will be loading 2 new colorways into the store, so stay tuned!
