Tutorial sample dyeing

or maybe you just need to dye many skeins at one time…..

Here is how I do it :

I´m using acid dyes.

1. My steel pot with a submerged lid in.

2. A skein in a freezer bag with the acid dye poured in.

3. Plastic bag secured with a knot and ready for the one hour steam-bath.

4. Next morning……the skeins ready to rinse and admire.

A lot of colors at the same time…….

Spinning challenge……Roadkill

Plunkyfluff has been the innovator of the Artyarn Spinning Challenges. And I have been drooling over the outcome and wishing that I had the time to actually participate……

Alas time again beat me to it……

But I found the time to actually fulfill some of the requirements:

The Reanimater Series
Submit entries to the yarn museum
Deadline Weds. May 7th
Vote! May 8th
please include pictures of:
1) the type of critter you’re re-animating (just pull an example off the web) DONE
2) your materials FOUND THEM FORGOT TO PHOTOGRAPH
3) the finished yarn YEP
4) the re-animated critter……SORRY still untangled and skein-like.

1)

(Sorry if you feel offended….I find death serene and beautiful and believe it to be just as important as life.)

2) Just have to write the materials: mohair, chiengora, “catgora”, angora and four diffrent kinds of wool.

3) Here is to the best og my ability…..

4) Alas…not this time……..

But I´would have loved to win Plunkyfluffs squirrel II , he makes me giggle…eventhough he has had a hard time…..
