Here at HQ, it is blooming marvellous, not much handiwork as my arm neck and wrist are all playing up
I have been part of the Natural Dye studio Rainbow club for seven months now and this is my gorgeous collection so far. Beautiful isn't it????Goodness me , Amanda and Phil do a fabulous job at dying.
One of my favourite blogs is Knitsofacto and Anne has written a wonderful post about dyeing. It is so very interesting .I often dream of dyeing my own yarn and have attempted it but it does require a lot of patience and ideally for me a bigger kitchen and outdoor space to dry the yarn. have you tried your hand at dyeing yarn?
My goodness as much as I am a supporter of independent shops and I support my local high street/ farmer's market as much as I can. I have to admit I don't think anyone can walk away from a pot of tete a tete daffodils for £1.00 and a bunch of normal daffs for 99p .

Love the beautiful yarn, I am hoping to spin and dye my own wool in the near future. I am hoping to go on a course shortly. I have a beautiful antique spinning wheel, a gift from my husband. Have a great weekend.

Love the yarn, love the flowers. I noticed today when out in my car daffodils are out in bloom everywhere.

I love reading Knitsofacto as well, very inspiring!
Though I have yet to find the courage to dye anything myself!

ReplyDeleteAwwwww, daffodils are such a pretty flower and always so cheerful :)
The yarn is beautiful and even more special because it's hand-dyed. The daffs are gorgeous. I hope to buy some this week for myself.
ReplyDeleteLoving your pretty yarn collection and yes also a big fan of Annie's lovely blog. Yarn dyeing definitely something I would interested to do, but for me it is just dyeing full stop! Pretty daffs xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to knitsofacto. I tried my hand at dyteing a while ago and enjoyed the process, such lovely alchemy. Your daffodils are bursting with colour,will follow your example and grab a bunch soon, so far I have cut out my own to keep at work, that way they last longer. I am sorry to hear you are still troubled with RSA.
ReplyDeleteHello. And thank you so much for the link! I missed this post somehow ... those rainbow yarns are just the bees knees ... almost too lovely to knit!
