dyeing day

Kate wanted to try fiber and yarn dyeing!... so i took an assortment of acid dyes up there with me, and Sunday was dye day, and i have to say that Kate showed great enthusiasm and talent and spent the whole blessed day from 11a.m. til almost 6pm immersed in the process.  the photos show some (but not all!) of the results... which were quite spectacular and beautiful!  I did a couple of the rovings (was trying to recreate "Spot", without huge success) (i haven't done any dyeing since last summer, probably august) (and i miss it, but everything for dyeing is stored away)  Enabler that i am, i sent Kate the link for ProChem, where i buy my dyes, and she was off and shopping.  She has a really great set-up for fiber dyeing.... their house used to have a completely separate apartment, which means there is a complete and spacious kitchen which is perfect!
