I decided to try something different this week. I’m dyeing a 50/50 cotton wool blend.

  

I have  2 oz of this blend to divide up into 1 oz increments. I thought it would be interesting to try direct dyes and acid dyes in the same colorway and then with two different colors to see what it would look like. I bought the fiber from Susan’s Fiber Shop. I actually love Susan’s shop. They carry a variety of knitting and spinning supplies. I go there often to supply myself for part and pieces for my spinning wheels. When I call, usually Susan or one of her wonderful workers answers the phone. They really try to work with you. Their customer service top notch. Shipping is fast too.

Another thing I’m starting this week is spinning all those fibers, that I dyed with the natural dyes.

 

I’m really excited to see this project come out.
