Here are some photos from a dye session I did a couple of days ago. I am very happy with the colourways I achieved, even if they are different from what I had in mind!
You can see just how low-tech my kettle dyeing set-up is. Complete with wood that needs splitting in the background.

And a new (for me) variation on one of my favourite blends of colour, yellow and grey.
I have done a bunch of spinning already and am excited to share photos here tomorrow. For those of you in Kingston I will be selling yarn today and subsequent Thursdays, 12-3:30, at the market at Mulberry Waldorf School.

Hi,
Your blog is amazing! I love how you spin and dye your own wool, it is somehting that I have been looking into myself lately. I love the wool itself before it is spun and I have tried to knit this before as it is and it looked quite amazing however overtime it would obviously start to look a bit messy, I was just wondering if you can spin this wool on its own but so the thickness stays very large?
Thankyou in advance for your help!

Your blog is awesome. I like the way you spin and dye the wool. It is something different and unique. Specially the autumny colourway is very new concept. I like it very much.
