The Chinese Laundry...

Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish in a couple of days when you've built up a head of steam? I got it into my mind this weekend that I was going to do a big dye up. The problem is where do you hang all of that wool to dry? The front verandah is now chok-full of all sorts of colours.... and there's still more to go up!


Now for the fun bit..... naming them! I know I had a hydranga in mind when I was dyeing up one lot and I felt the need to do a few pastels this time. It's almost too many for my liking, so it's back to the brights - I already have a bright blue and bright red dye up cooling off in the lab/kitchen! The hard bit is waiting for them to cool right off so I can rinse the wool and see what colours I've got.

Yaaa Hoooo!

A quick update.... they loved it and bought it all!!!! Now I have to get my butt into the mad scientist's lab to dye up some more......

To market, to market...

Well, I felt that it was high time I got out there and tried to find a nice outlet for my dyed fibres. So I'm off to the guild today to see what they think. Fingers crossed that they like the sight of this lovliness:



After all - I can always spin it and pet it myself!!

I spun up the scrummy "Pole Dancing" and it turned out a treat (wish I got to keep that one!!). Maybe I need to dye me up some more..

What's in the box?

Nooorty Names....

I'm really enjoying naming some the creations coming off my wheel, and now I have all this dyeing to name as well.... double the fun! I intend to sit down with my book o' nonsense and start writing down some naughty and fun names for things as they come to me. I've also been buying up more dyes, so there's no excuse not to have some huge dye ups once the merino bump has arrived. I've just about run out of the bit of plain merino I had here, and I still have all these gorgeous colour combinations running through my head.

This one has yet to be named.... hmmmmn......

"Pole Dancing"! How's that? Yeah, that'll do!
