I can't even think of a title of this post. Today was another dyeing day. I dyed roving in various colors and also dyed some more of the romney fleece. I finished spinning some of the fushia/yellow fleece. It came out as a beautiful peachy color. I have a little left and am blending it with the salmon colored fleece. It's hard to imagine that this was the garish colored fushia in the last post. Alot of the fushia color didn't take (thankfully) and most of the yellow did, so it came out like this.

Very little progress on the rug - maybe a few inches since I last reported.

My ds and I went to Prescott yesterday for a day of shopping and eating out. This is something we don't do very often as it's an hours drive to anywhere with a mall. I don't even really enjoy shopping the way I did years ago. However, we both enjoy eating out and getting away from home for awhile.

Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend

Dyed in the wool

Well, it's been awhile since I've written anything. I haven't done much weaving, but I did buy a fleece from Jean Kamenicky of Grants Pass Oregon. It is a beautiful, lustrous, soft romney fleece and very reasonably priced. I washed it last week and today on my only day off this week, I am dyeing it in 6 oz increments in various colors. I do love to dye! I created a beautiful blue green that is my favorite so far. I still have a fushia with some yellow added that's still cooking as I write.
Four colors today and more in the coming days. I don't know why, but I love to take a relatively clean fleece and wash and dye and spin it. Don't know what I'll do with these colors, but I'll find something to do with them. I saw a beautful picture of a shawl from the Maryland show on yarnahoy's blog. It amazes me what people can do with yarn.
