Used a fiber reactive dye and set the dye in the microwave. Nothing scientific here, I was in too much of a hurry.

Goes with Barbie Pink ;)

BFL or Wensleydale/Masham mix. Not sure anymore...

 

I've spun here and there, just trying to get the hang of the thing, but this is the first that I've spun entirely and plied. I figured out the yardage, but I've since forgotten. It's one big skein and a little (bobbin got too full to ply all of it at once)

Handspun & plied (by me) from Copper Moose wool spinning fibre.

This dyer used to run a larger indie dying business and I just discovered she is now selling on etsy.

Very pale tan/yellow. I think something went wrong in either mordanting or dyeing. Using white undyed wool for contrast.

190 yds, 2.5 oz BFL. This is half of the fiber. The other half is waiting to be spun The one barberpole bit you see near the top was just the leftovers - some pink I had to cut off earlier due to one ply being longer than the other, with leftover navy blue on the other ply. The rest is pretty evenly matched. I'm happy with my first attempt at striping yarn.

These are the same color, but one skein has some streaks of a more reddish purple.
