I was aiming for more of a navy blue, deep purple, and greenish yellow..
but..
I am really happy with the colors!
It is fun to see how the natural color in the fleece
takes the dye.
The instructor of our spinning group recommended I try
a "dog rake".
It works great!!
(Thanks Marilyn!!)
Fluffs the locks and takes out debris.
Hardly even need to use the hand carders.
I've been trying to keep track of what I have been using
and making notes on these little cards.
The cards fit into baseball card sleeves that I keep in a binder.
This is about 108 yards of the Kool-aid dyed fleece spun on
a drop spindle.
Can't wait
to spin another round to see how it looks plied!
