The kids and I had a dye day on Friday. Well…2/3 of the kids. The middle one would rather play Nintendo.

This is a ball of roving that I had. I can’t remember the fiber type. I had two balls. The other ball is what you see dyed a few entries before this one.

OO…exciting..a photo of wool soaking in the sink (with vinegar)

This is Carmen starting on some of the roving. She even mixed the colors to dye with. We used regular food coloring and some of the neon food coloring.

The Liam really liked dyeing. He wants to do more.

This is some dyed roving all ready to be rolled up and nuked.

Fini!! All done and drying outside.

There are a few more photos of our dyeing experiment in my Photo Gallery. I’ve already started spinning some of this stuff and its looking neat. I’ve nearly got a bobin full and I’m going to try out Navajo Plying when I get it full. Here’s hoping I can figure that out.
