Something bright to spin
November 2nd, 2008Yesterday, 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

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.
