So I was on Instagram and I saw this cool way to dye roving. I do not remember who it was but it was AWESOME. You see prior to this I would dye each fiber separately and it would kind of take a long time. This way is sooo much faster! its Awesome!! I cook all the colors in separate mason jars. Since I only dye enough for me to spin this makes it sooo easy! I dyed about 5 oz of merino, 1 oz of silk, and then blended it with maybe an ounce of natural grey alpaca to get this: My one complaint is that I think I added too much grey but it is soft and pastel! I core spun it to make this: I got about 75 yards total. Now I just need to make something with it!! I am thinking a cowl since I am not sure I have enough for a scarf. What do you think!
