Red yarn

Red dyepot. My attempt to get a deep dark red. I find the differences in how fiber takes the same dye fascinating. In this series of photos, the locks (carded into batts) were in a sample testing dyepot. The BFL/silk, silk, and yarn were soaked for 24 hours and added to the dyepot at the beginning with equal access to the dye. The firestar and merino were added to the dyepot near the end to soak up excess dye.

 

Blend of cardinal, plum, and spice brown dyes.
