Still Dyeing - Painted Yarn

Feb 12, 2006 14:16

Here is some of the yarn I have dyed recently using natural dyes. I ended up getting some Cormo yarn and some Cormo-Alpaca yarn. I have 4 of each of the colorways. It was expensive yarn, but it it is really wonderful and absolutely delicious. Both are from a family farm that grows, processes, and spins the wool. The yardage is about 1700 yards ( Read more... )

There will be no flash dancing though, I promise, pinky swear.

Well, if I can find some water, I *might*, but just a little. ;-)

Ooooh, Old Rose is very pretty.

You have been amazingly busy. How many hours does it take you to make all this?

These are mill spun yarns. I am dyeing them, but not spinning them. As far as time goes, I am trying to figure that out myself.

Well, they are VERY pretty.

such nice looking creations :)
i'd offer naming suggestions, but i think we have a different "yarn-naming philosophy". :)

example: your "manly" might be my "who spilled the aqua velva?" see? :)

haha! i was just comming back to offer some help in that dept, but then that same fact dawned on me..

plus, names usually just hit me over the head.

that middle set, "dances with fireflies" comes to mind.

lost on the others, it is hard for me to give a name for something i didn't make.

Oooh, I like that.

I have a hard time naming anything. I refer to it as the "Nancy disease" after an old boss at a cafe. When naming soups and salads she would list all the ingredients in the title. I fear I suffer from the same thing.
