I just had a great weekend playing with colour. I spent all day saturday dyeing some my dyeing stash. So far I've dyed 7kg ... mostly pencil roving and some mega skeins (80ft long!). The only problem I have is that I want to keep it all ... but I know what BHE will say to that. Still I might pick out a few things I really like. It also gives me more colour ideas for the next batch.

This was one side of my washing line yesterday ...


and this another ...
This is some of the pencil roving (some merino ones and some Swaledale)

and again ...
Finally here is the pics I promised last week of my handspun. The left skein has a small amount of angelina thru it so it has a slight sparkle. They are all for ongoing projects
I guess I'm going to be spending the next week or so re-skeining these mega hanks. Oh and btw remember a while back I talked about making self striping yarn by a different method ... well I tried it, it worked but no pictures yet as its still drying.
