Dyed a bunch more roving this weekend.

Ok, so it’s a “bunch” for me. ‘Cause you know, I live in a small apartment, and do all my dyeing in one-and-a-half pots and one-and-a-half baking pans.

But anyways, a bunch of roving! I also got a yarn done, it’s set, almost dry. Will be posted soon. I hope to be ordering beads for more mythic yarns this week.

First, Sweeney Todd was ridiculously popular. So I dyed a couple more. But um… it appears they’re all already spoken for. I think I have one more 2oz batch of unspoken noiled silk roving, so I may dye still one more this week, we’ll see.

Along with Sweeney, in a similar method, I dyed Bronze Dream, Winter Walk, and two more plies for Yingarna (a Mythic yarn).

Then I messed around a little with my serendipity method, named appropriately by the lovely Laurie. I made Golden Serendipity and Spring Serendipity (also called Christmas Candy) and then decided to see what I could do with it on some baby alpaca roving given to me at Rhinebeck by Pixisis, and came up with Sunset Serendipity.

And, for those morbidly curious, here is my fancy schmancy washing/drying facility…

Very state-of-the-art, I assure you.

All the roving posted here will be for sale. The Sweeney’s, I think, are spoken for, so if you want some, drop me an email. The Sunset Serendipity will not be up on the site since I don’t really like posting roving I can’t make pretty there. I’ll spin it myself into yarn for the site unless someone emails for it.

I’ve also got a knitting project underway, a crochet project on the burner, and the new yarn to post about. I’ll try to get information up on those shortly.

Also, I posted about acid dyes before. Any interest in fiber reactive dyes?
