Wool dying

I have always been a knitter. I started young and have kept up with it over the years. A few months ago I finished the dragonwing shawl shown below:

I’ll try to take a better photo later.

Lately, I have been learning to spin. Working with the fibre is very hypnotic and the repetitive action is perfect for brainstorming when I’m stuck.

I went to the Twist Fibre Festival last weekend and bought several blends of white wool to try out dying. These are some of my first attempts.

I am thrilled with the results and have some interesting plans for the dyed fibre. Something book related…..
