Dye Day Summer 2007

My local Sunday Spinners group has an annual summer dye day. I went, but had no intention of dyeing a thing. Only because I wanted to save the one skein of uncolored yarn from Knitpicks to Kool Aid dye at a later time. I had brought the bag of fiber that I was having trouble with, thinking something was wrong with "it". A friend showed me that it would need to be spun thicker than stuff I had been spinning and that it did not need to be 'thrown away'. Then she told me to get it over to the dye table and put some color into it. I resisted, and then colored one section. I used mainly blue and then someone told me to put some other color in it - and to try the "pear" color, which was a yellowish green. I have to admit that it is kind of cool how it came out and I look forward to now getting the BFL finished that I have on the bobbin, so I can see how to attack this unknown, now colored fiber, differently. Then I will want to dye the rest of it.................I can see it now................Oh no!
I promise to get a picture or two up as soon as I can. I did spin a bit of the BFL tonight and will try to spin at least about 15 minutes a day as recommended in several books.
