Time for Dyeing!

Yes indeed the Summer 2016 dyeing season is in full swing. Porkchop remains unsure whether this is a good or bad thing.


I'm using my favorite approach, gradations. I love seeing the little skeins hanging in a row on my metal rod.


 After that comes the exhaust baths. These light colors can be so subtle and surprising. I have some light grey Norsk yarn coming from Sidsel any day now and I love to save that for the dye exhaust. So much fun ahead.


The great magazine Fiberart Now published a variety of studios in their latest issue so I figure I need to share a full view of my dyeing studio, my little corner of the garage. It seems to suit me.


Next week I teach a day class at Shake Rag Alley in Mineral Point called Tapestry Sunsets, today I dyed our treasures.



Yes I know....I'm a lucky person.

  2. Along with getting some colors dyed for the Convergence class Janette, I have this idea I want to work on in the fall - finally starting "Donut Man". It will all be based on a Blue Orange relationship, hence the searching you see. I did another round today, it's good weather here for it.
