Dyeing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely sunny day here today so thought I would do some dyeing.  I pulled out a heap of dyes and some bags of Bendigo Woollen Mills fibre and these are the results.

 Front: Machine wash/bamboo Lucerne, Various mohair
Next row: Machine wash/bamboo Mushroom, Plum, Indigo

 Various Bendigo Woollen Mills mohair

Back: One pot dyeing using Gaywool dyes.  
Middle: Machine wash/bamboo Cyclamen, Honeycombe, Primula
Front: Machine wash/bamboo Raspberry, Avocado, Blueberry

Once this lot is dry I will be able to card it, blend it and add to it.  Will be nice to have plenty of colours to play with.  Each lot of machine wash/bamboo is just over 100gms each.

It looks like the mohair took the dye especially well, which is interesting. The pot dyes are interesting too, but, will you be able to maintain the gradations in the yarn when they're spun?

You're right, there's a lot to play with here!
