Fit to be tie-dyed

The spinning guild meeting where I led a hands-on activity of tie-dyeing went well. In fact, several people thanked me afterwards for providing them the opportunity to make something new. Not everyone present participated, so I had a lot of dye left over, which I put to good use the next day. More on that later.

Dyeing: Not only did I do a lot of tie-dyeing this past week, I gathered rudbeckia from the backyard for more dyeing.

Before

After

Knitting: Still working on the Kit and Caboodle tote and the socks.
Spinning: Still plying the last batch of Romney.

One of the weaving guild members passed away this summer; Sue was over 100 and led a life full of fiber art. Some of her fiber tools have been donated to the guild, but a LOT of stuff was made available to us for a donation to the guild. It is easy to go overboard when presented with so much, but I limited myself to one braid of roving, a couple of pairs of scissors, three books, and all the undyed wool and linen yarn I could lay my hands on.
