I finished the yellow dyeing of wool in the safflower bath.  Here is the sock blank and another small skein (50 gr) that I added later to hopefully use up the yellow pigment in this bath.\"Dyeing<\/a> <\/p>\n

Kathy asked me if, after dyeing, I would knit directly from the unraveled, \u2018kinky\u2019 yarn, or if I would re-wet the yarn to make it smooth again.  I have to admit that I hadn\u2019t thought about this!  Now, since she\u2019s brought it up, I believe I will try steaming the yarn after it has been skeined. Before I get to knitting, this sock blank will get folded and clamped and over-dyed for a shibori effect.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately this photo does not do justice to the colors!  The sock blank is truly a complex blend of colors ranging from a creamy golden color, to soft oranges.  I love it!  The skein is a pale, creamy yellow, a delicate, soft color.<\/p>\n

Today I have the silk scarf and a small piece of muslin in the bath which I\u2019ve shifted to alkaline with the addition of soda ash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
