Finally got what I needed done for lab this week. Eep and ugh.
Here’s some dyeing I’ve been squeezing in in the evenings.
Tussah first…
An older colorway, in a new fiber, very different effect. Fascinating. Hard to photograph because it’s dark.
That Old Black Magic – 1oz x 2 – Combed Tussah Silk Top
Like a soft nudibranch, with delicate ruffled gills swaying in the currents…
Glossodoris – 1oz x 2 – Combed Tussah Silk Top
Some more Clun Forest, lovely downs wool with little to no luster. Deep red and almost black orchid flowers…
Deep Orchid – 4oz – Carded Clun Forest Roving
And finally, soft ripples of the current set reflections rippling, seaweed swaying, and fish scurrying for cover…
Tide Pool – 4oz – 80/20 Merino/Angora Combed Top
And that’s about it. Paper still on track for going out for review sometime next week.
I’ve got some Finn in a new colorway “Flabellina” (or “Spanish Shawl” if you prefer) drying, some more finn waiting to be dryed, and a few ideas to be made real.

The tidepool looks lovely.
verrrrrrrrry purdy
That tide pool is gorgeous. As is the nudibranch inspired tussah. Heh. I said nudibranch
Just tell me it’s a sea slug, and I’m all over it.
