I'm finally back to the dye pots and my body is feeling it from standing on concrete all day. I forgot how long it takes to dye silk hankies, you wouldn't think 1 1/2 pounds of them would take very long to dye since I regularly dye 10 pounds of roving in a day and have dyed up to 20 pounds in a day. Hopefully they'll be dry shortly so I can go collect them, the wind is picking up and being so light they'll be all over the place if I leave them out there much longer. Tomorrow I'll be dyeing some merino/tussah roving. Then I'll be watching the temps to see when the next dye day is.
The silk is glowing! Absolutely love the red!
ReplyDeleteI love the red too. I really love a mostly black one with blue/green circles on it on the rack to the right. It's hard to see but the colors are beautiful on that silk. It's giving me some ideas for dyeing roving with incorporating more black with bits of other colors.
