Wow


So much has been going on. Unfortunately, a lot of it isn't fiber related. Boo.

I have started dyeing up some beautiful silk blend yarn I have. I'm very pleased with it, particularly as it's a new dye formulation. I have had to switch to a vendor that can actually give me as much dye as I want when I want it, and I have added in the dry chemicals to make it work. The chemicals have much more bulk than the dye, which makes precise measurement much easier, and so gives me repeatable colors. AND, I can buy the chemicals by the 50-pound sack for extremely cheap. It's all good.

This is Silk Blend Medeterranean; this photo is too purple, it really is a deep, rich blue and I'm very pleased with it.
