Photograph taken along the route of the M11 Link Road (now the A12 between Redbridge Roundabout and Hackney Wick) between Leytonstone and Leyton stations in February 1994.
Dyers Hall Road was largely demolished in the course of the roadbuilding: it now consists of two stubs, the shorter one suffixed with 'South', with a footpath and cycle lane that runs alongside the wall of the A12.

Praktica BCA with Kodak TMax 400.
Final day of dyeing - dyed crocheted squares, knitted strips, a ball of yarn and an extra long skein which 3 of us dyed.
This is the top layer of three layers of Superwash Merino batting I ordered a few months ago for a very large comission of yarn. The chartruse colour is a bit more yellow than I had in mind, but I think this is going to come out fabulous! I can't wait for the cooking to be done (I use crockpot dyeing methods currently, as the kitchen is not set up with enough counterspace to dye, nor do i want my roommate going psycho on me for taking up space or splashing dye somewhere.../sigh), so it takes a few hours of cooking and then several hours of cooling to get each batch done. I'll be at this for the next several days, as i have a pound or so of fiber to dye, and not a whole lot of fiber fits in the crockpot!

My first warp is painted and wrapped in plastic to batch. Behind you see the bottles of dye and in front my coffee filter that I tested the dye.
tried a new dye method of starting a dye pot with a pale color, dipping the yarn and them adding progressivley darket colors to the pot and atying knots in the skeins and dipping them in. Pretty fun
Various PRR cords dyed with Dylon machine dyes in ultraviolet (my favourite ever dye colour) baby pink and a mix of three random greens to get enough dye for 1kg of fabric :)

I'm going to have dye on my hands for a couple more days.
