Dyeing again
Well I tried dyeing some of my angora again. I got a new dyeing fiber and yarn book and I just followed some instructions there-in. They instructed to soak the yarn in a vinegar-water mix and then squeeze out the water. Add the dye and heat. I spot-dyed this fiber and I think it turned out just like I wanted it to. I wanted to keep some of the grey but still have the blue. Can't wait to spin it! This is just a half ounce of Black Giant angora, compliments of Jan's Giants. I also dyed another half ounce and have it drying. I fluffed this up to get it dryed faster. Next post will be of the spun yarn. Cool huh??
