You know how it is.... you try something new, it works out ok and this motivates you to keep on going. Well, I tried... I dyed... and dyed... and dyed... and dyed:- Seven skeins to be exact! Seven skeins of my charity shop blue and grey wool, and one ball of white Wendy Peter Pan 3ply.
I am really pleased with the overall results. I can't wait to knit with this wool now. Next time I plan to dip-dye the wool, but that's for another day. For now I am going to bask in my woolly glory!!!

Gorgeous colours - well done! Dyeing is next on my list, so thanks for the info.
You have done a marvelous dyeing job there, very professional looking :)
Thanks for the advice. Your blog looks great and so does your dyeing.
I must remember that it's meant to be fun no matter what colours I get.
