Dye Day

We set up at Peggy's house. Here she is giving us our orders. :-)Cynthia is in charge of showing everyone how to immersion dye if that is their method of choice. Most people like to paint the wool and/or yarn. So we begin.
OOOH, AAAH!
The first from the pot is Cindy's (not to be confused with Cynthia) Sangria...a ProChem dye.
Karen and Diana are going to paint their yarn.
This is a good shot of Karen applying the dye. Notice everyone is wearing their gloves!
Belinda had a formula in mind of the colour placement.
Billie checking out Karen's finished skein.
Peggy's Cotswold/Merino hand spun.
Cindy's Twilight.
Belinda's Deep Purple (Jaquard) on a Henry's Attic yarn.
Catherine dyed Henry's Attic, too, in a scrumptious Golden Pear from ProChem. I love Belinda's resist dyed Sock Blank.
We dyed darker colours this year.
But there were a few bright ones, also.
I would say it was another successful year.

Dye Day

Peggy - the hostess.




Cynthia was a great help.

Catherine helped set up.

The non dyers...this time.

It's a pot luck so this is what we do best...eat!

The Wool.
