Wool Dyeing #2

I have completed the (exciting) task of dyeing all my pure colors. I now have two yellows, four blues, and four reds, ready to be mixed together for an infinite amount of color possibilities!
The only color not pictured is Violet. I'm not sure where that one went. Anna cut into the violet long ago and used it to make this adorable little lady.
Here's a glimpse of our studio.

Wool Dyeing #1

Dyeing started when as a younger self I dyed wool in a microwave with Kool-Aid. While in high school I became more interested in dyeing and discovered a workshop taught by fiber dying expert Carol Soderlund. During her week long class I learned so much, more than I could have imagined. The other day I started dyeing again and I'm really enjoying it. During the class we created a huge book of colors and dye formulas. It's the most incredible dyers tool. I'm working on creating a second one for wool dyes. I love dyeing wool fabric. Sometimes I get more excited about the materials themselves than the potential project. :)
