I'm Dyeing Over Here

During Ani's workshop, I was busy being her assistant, chief photo documentarian and head chef so I wasn't able to lay hands on wool nor dye.  I watched (and photographed) as others did their thing but for myself, nothing.  I also listened carefully to what Ani was saying.

After the dust settled and everyone headed home however, to the dye pots I went.  And what do I now have in my hot, little hands?  

Oh, only this....

Two skeins of machine spun Merino, DK weight.

And this: (it is all Merino/Silk, 85/15%).  

A closer look at how the wool and silk absorb the dye differently, resulting in gorgeousness.

Oh yes, Ani done taught me right.
