The last of my merino wool that I died on Labour Day. This time I sprinkled the dye powder onto the yarn, instead of using dye baths. Still got muddy in a couple places, but it looks very nice over all. Still felted a little when I put it in the dryer on low heat...don't think I will ever learn 😆 #yarndyeing #yarndyeingexperiments #wool #woolyarn #dyeing #dyedyarn #merinowool #aciddyes #craftartist #thiswillbeasweateroneday https://www.instagram.com/p/CTmvkbjlvYG/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am so effing mad at myself right now. I felted my merino yarn in the dryer....all because it was still damp despite drying over night and sitting on the deck in the sun this morning. I should have known better....but I dun goofed. The colour way muddied itself yesterday, so I lost the lovely purples and greens in it, and now this. I guess I can use it for stuffing, or make colourful dreadlocks for a doll....what a waste of yarn this was. #yarnfail #dyefail #yarndyeing #yarndyeingexperiments #merinowool #wool #woolyarn #yarnskeins #craftfail https://www.instagram.com/p/CRXkx14sM-Q/?utm_medium=tumblr

Since it's 31 degrees today and I'm on vacation, I thought I'd do some solar dyeing! I'm trying to mimic a technique I see on here all the time, but I have no clue if I did it right. My searches don't come up with the same technique, so this is being done blind. I enjoy solar dyeing. I don't have a dedicated dye stove (or lunch trays), so this works for me in the summer. Good for small batch dyeing, cuz you can leave it for a few hours without fear of burning the house down XD #yarnblanks #yarndyeing #yarndyeingexperiments #dyeing #aciddyes #wool #woolyarn #merinowool #craftproject #fibreartist #yarnporn https://www.instagram.com/p/CRUqfyDs8Br/?utm_medium=tumblr
