Today was my birthday and before we went to Cupcake
Royale (yum) I opened presents from my family. My husband gave me about 5 pounds of
Targhee and the book
Teach Yourself Visually - Hand-Dyeing. The kids gave me wonderful non-fiber-related gifts. I received these gifts after spending the whole day dyeing. It was awesome just to listen to pod casts all day and dye roving/top in my kitchen.
I started with about 3 pounds of different types of top.
I tried several types of space dyeing. I heated some in the oven in tin casserole pans with tin foil lids.
I steamed some of the roving/top in the canning pot.
And now it's all drying on the rack. I can't wait to spin up these samples and see how they come out. Once the roving is dry I'll take more photos. Today was the best day ever!
