I have been dying lace yarn today, which will shortly be appearing in the shop. First was the turn of tbe humble onion skin. Two skeins of BFL lace weight went in, and one was modified with iron to give a lovely green. Other dyeing today was done with walnut, yarn isn't out yet but looks promising- a lovely chocolate.
And because i am not quite ready to leave the blues behind, I painted our bedroom window frame blue!
After yesterdays variable results, I revived the vat again this morning and things have been much better. I am getting some nice blues.
Paint window frames,
Do the shopping,
Have lunch,
Ebay shopping for daughter's hobby
then and only then can I get some dying done! Having joined the weavers, spinners and dyers online guild last month, i was really excited to join in the indigo workshop, but with all tbe other things there are to do it has taken me the best part of the month to get to the part where I get to put yarn in the indigo vat. The first batch has been done and serms to be teal coloured. very pretty, but not blue!
A big thank you to the knitting ladies of Northampton for being so welcoming this morning. I had the fabbest time knitting at A Most Marvellous Place to Shop. Look out for more dates next month.
I have just finished the second peglooming session at a local care home. Now I am going to combine all the pieces into one hanging to represent the craft group. Next months sessions include making necklaces and broaches.
