Today I listed three batches of fiber in my etsy store. All were dyed in the same dye pot using the space dyed method. I used Salmon, Sunny Yellow and Scarlet and 50/50 Superwash Merino/Soy Silk roving. One roving came out with a lot more coral and pink tones - so it became Coral Rose. One roving came out with peach/salmon/pink/yellow tones and it became Peace Rose. Some of the roving was in shorter pieces or the pieces became very wispy in the dye pot so I carded those up with some sunny lemon yellow superwash wool top to create the Peace Rose OOAK Custom Fiber Blend batts - two available. I love these colors together (in case you couldn’t already tell!) ;o)
Very pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteI got my Zinnias batt of the month yesterday and it is GORGEOUS! My Mom is going to be over the moon with it when she gets hers. What fabulous colours. I am just so pleased!
ReplyDeleteLove the rose and coral toned fibers too - they are so warm and reminding me of spring and summer to come!
Thank you! I have been dreaming of spring and these fibers are the results of my wishful thinking.
ReplyDeleteClaire - so glad you like your Zinnias batt - I thought those colors would appeal to both you and your Mom - glad to hear my instincts were right on!
Spring is in the air, and these colors are absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous colors, oh how I wish I could knit! I tried but it killed my hands.
