We decided to take a trip up to a new yarn/fiber store that's close to my house. I don't intend to call this place home, but I wanted to check it out. Mostly, my interest was piqued by the different fibers available. I had ventured there once before, but it was closed. There is no sign outside, but there is a banner in the door.
I bought some cashmere. I haven't spun with cashmere and Sam & I have been wanting to do some dyeing. We grabbed our 8 oz. and headed to Target for some Kool Aid. They had 3 kinds, we opted for cherry and grape. Looked up some instructions online, thank you free web resources, and got home to go to work.
Love for the kool aid.
Fiber in the pot and on the stove for its dye bath
Stirrin' up the fiber... yummy grape
Dryin' the fiber...
After the grape goodness, we made some red loveliness.
It's all outside now drying on the drying rack, woohoo! Can't wait to spin it up!
