These two crochet scarves are made from the leftovers from the jelly dyed sock wool.
This yarn was a bit of a flop but might knit up into a wrap quite nicely. I used some cotton thread to which I had threaded clear beads but once the skein was washed it reacted differently than I anticipated.
This one is white alpaca plyed with mottled grey merino. Very pleased.
Washed up two baby merino lamb fleeces. Staple length is an average of 1.5" so will need to hit the drum carder to make some lovely soft batts.
Mottled grey merino all washed up and ready to go.
On my drying rack I have a white merino x poll dorset and across the front are some older wool rovings from the Bendigo Woollen Mills which have been dyed with Gaywool dyes. Logwood, pumpkin and silver birch.

That jelly wool you dyed is just beautiful!
Ooh, looks like you'll be having heaps of fun! I probably should have been washing fleece today too, but youngest isn't 100% so we had a quiet day inside instead.
Looks like lots of fun coming up for you.
Pretty projects from the jelly dyed yarns.
Love what you end up with after you dye the wool. Lovely colours and kniting. hugs......
Oh Katherine, I can see that you are into the wool in a very big way now :-)) Well done!
Both the jelly scarves look great. I really like that yarn!
What was it that didn't work out with the beaded yarn? It is hard to tell from the photo. But I can see, though, that the alpaca/merino yarn looks heavenly! Another busy week for you, Katherine!
So loving the jelly dyed results :) Mind you, am liking the other dyed um bits (sorry forgotten the term- already) lovely colours :)
