Mad Scientist at work....

~ actually, a very happy unscientific girl at work! :)  Managed to find some time yesterday and dyed two 100g lots of fleece. I used the same colour but in two different ways. I like both and have decided that I will card each of these separately and then ply them together. I'll dye another two 100g lots in the same manner, but next time I'll card the whole 200g together and see how it differs. It's going to be fun and I have lots of fleece to play with. :)
Raw fleece still in the bag from the shepherd.

Dripping out the excess water.

Fleece is dry & so fluffy.


100g of beautiful colour!

Same colour ~ different technique!

I love both ways and can't wait to see how this stuff looks in the carded batts and then spun up into yarn. Need more time in my days!
Til later...happy knitting & spinning!

I'm off to a birthday party for our youngest granddaughter. She's turning one and getting to be so active.
