Something bright to spin

November 2nd, 2008

Yesterday, I had time for a quick dyeing session. The Aerie doesn’t have a dedicated dye kitchen, so I am limited to small-ish batches of acid dye on the stovetop. I use dedicated pans and utensils, of course.

Jacquard Acid dyes on Romney sliver

  • Yellow Sun
  • Violet
  • Turquoise
  • Spruce

  • Isn’t that a sweet little drop spindle? It’s by Golding Fiber Tools.

    At 1.9 ounces, it is a bit heavy for the fine yarn I am spinning, but the Romney is a very forgiving fiber.

      Oh it looks simply lovely! One of these days I’ll get to dyeing a bit!

      It’s spinning up really well. I went to SpinCity last night and got to know my Golding spindle quite well.
