oops, was I supposed to dye *THAT*?
At the end of October I posted about my experiments with dying fiber. What I didn’t mention what that I was *sure* that I had quite a bit more BFL for my Twisted Knitters project than I could find – I thought maybe my memory was playing tricks. But then while digging through my stash the other day, I found it . . . a medium sized plastic bag, with probably a pound of BFL. (I so need a scale for this hobby) I’d post a picture, but who really needs to see a clear plastic bag full of off white fuzz.
So now I need to try to dye this fiber to either match or at least blend with the previous batch. (I am sure this will be easy HAH!) Especially because my scientific technique for dying the previous batch included free-form pouring the dyes across the fiber and crossing my fingers. And the results weren’t exactly what I expected either.  I am thinking I might aim for it to be darker and then blending the two together, being that I had wished my original batch was both darker and more saturated.
