Spinning Fibers

Spinning Fibers from Brown Sheep
This is a beautiful mix of white, brown, and black wool.
I do believe that it would like to become a scarf.

Current Spinning and Finished Dyed Fiber

I am currently spinning a white, brown, and black wool mixture on my Lendrum. More pictures when it is finished.
This is the first fiber that I dyed. I am calling it fire.
This is the second fiber that I dyed. I have not named it yet but the inspiration for the color combination was the Podcast Lime n Violet. I think that it turned out beautifully. This will be the next color on my wheel.
This was my final dye job for the day. I had two colors of blue left and one color of green. I dumbed, smooshed, and this is what came out. I am calling it ocean dive.
This was a small amount of roving that came in a recent order it has orange, brown, and black. My son helped me make this yarn by running the treadle he plans to make a scarf for his monkey with it.

What happened to Easter and dyeing fiber

Today I wanted to post about Easter but my pictures are gone GRRRRR! DH cleaned off the computer and put the pictures on a disk. I will have to dig those up later. SO for today I bring you my new favorite hobby.

I have officially fallen into the dyeing fiber pit and I don't want to get out. I had so much fun dyeing with Easter egg dye that I went back to the store and purchased a bunch more. The picture above is blue and green dumped randomly. I wrapped it in plastic wrap and steamed it for 45 minutes.
This is another batch that I dyed red orange, and yellow. This one has already been steamed and it is cooling down.
I believe this one is my favorite, the Lime N Violet pod cast was my inspiration. I only used purple and green but the purple separated into blue on the fiber. This one is waiting for a rinse.
I finished picture of almost dry fiber. I am very surprised that the dye stayed so vivid. I expected most of the color to fade or wash out. I will definitely be using this dye again. More pictures coming soon.
