Spinning and Dyeing




I thought it was time I caught up with showing some of my spinning and dyeing exploits..... On a previous blog I put up a photo of some dyeing I had done which I wasn't very pleased with - but it has spun up OK nowhere near as garish as I thought it would be although it is somewhat brighter than it looks in the photograph.







I have started to knit some fingerless gloves- yes I know - wrong time of year, but I am sure they will come in very useful come autumn. The wool is BFL which I dyed with Landscape Dyes and then spun on the Traditional. I am finding the single treadle hard to get used to though and it turned out a bit thick and thin but nonetheless it is knitting up quite well.
