"Dyeing to Get Some Colour" workshop taught by Felicia Lo of SweetGeorgia Yarns at the Place des Arts in Coquitlam, May 26, 2012
Final day of dyeing - dyed crocheted squares, knitted strips, a ball of yarn and an extra long skein which 3 of us dyed.
.
This week was my dyeing frenzy.
76 fat quarters (50 x 55 cm)
1/2 meter shibori
19.5 meters of fabric in all!
Domestic wool dyed with Prochem acid dyes, carded with angelina, spun and plied on Majacraft Little Gem spinning wheel.
Solar dyeing in a roasting pan.
I was inspired by Pippi's article in KnittySpin.
I used Pink, Turquoise, Purple and Sapphire Blue.
It was fun and the finished product is fun!!
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. These colors all started from the same dye pot.
Here is the Icelandic wool and the Merino/Tussah/Alpaca wool after their copper mordanting and long soak in the black-eyed susan dyebath
I started out following the directions but then I realized it would all be one color so I looked up how to hand paint cotton and did that instead.
