Wool dyeing





Fern had her first lesson in dying wool.
She chose her colours, I mixed them up for her and she applied them.


Her wool came up beautiful.


It's a 50gm skein.
Next I'll have to show her how to ball it up ready to knit with.


I used up the remaining dye to dye up some merino roving.
I'm planning on spinning this soon.
