Postcards From Pemberley: More dyeing results
http://ashley511.blogspot.com/2008/01/more-dyeing-results.html
Friday, January 18, 2008. My skeins finally dried today at about 2:30 so on to the niddy noddy they went! My personal favorite is the brown yarn there on the left. It's difficult to see on my computer screen, but there is some burnt orange in there as well. These were done with a combination of Jacquard. Dyes, both are acid dyes. This is really fun to do, but I know that my mom eventually needs the kitchen back, lol. Looks like your dying techniques are streamilned already! January 18, 2008 at 9:27 PM.

I love the ladies on the violins. perhaps this can be a song on my IPOD when I get it :). February 9, 2008 at 2:53 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Noro Silk Garden...
