What a day...


I cleaned out and scrubbed four kitchen drawers, which is more housework than I usually do in any one week. Not much fiber happened today, but I did simmer the cherry dyebath with some wool, worked a little on Coral Reef by way of a break, and set Ashes of Roses and Strange Brew up to dry.

Today's photo is Crocus Panda. Panda is a loverly mix of superwash merino, bamboo, and nylon; great for socks or other hard-wearing, hard-washing items. Because of the bamboo it dyes streaky.

Time for a beer, and pizza!

  1. You might try Glauber's salts (sodium sulfate) instead of urea for dye uptake. Works much better for me; might do as well for you. -- Bjo

  2. I like that blue and the uneven color of it.
