It’s Dye Day. This is how a Dinokitty begins. I do small-batch dyeing every couple weeks normally. This color was a mix of aquamarine, sunshine orange, neon yellow, dark brown and apple green. It takes a while to learn how the different pigments react with one another, which ones are dominant and how different fibers (rougher roving vs. soft top-combed wool) take color. I usually dye several different strains of wool with ever lengthening soak times to get all the shades I’ll need for a finished Dinokitty 💕🐱🦖💕 #womenofwool #needlefelting #dyeingprocess #dyeingwool #mabgraves #dinokitty #dinokitty™️ #dyeday

While tidying my shed I found a bag full of spun wool my mum spun; I think in the early ‘80ties. Never washed, but I took on the challenge. Washed surprisingly easy and I decided to do some natural dyeing. So far I tried: cherries, walnut, yellow unions, celandine, red unions, thee, coffee, wine, laurel. #wool #dyeingwool #naturalcolours #naturaldyeing #homespun #naturaldyes https://www.instagram.com/p/CNhx_O7FBX5/?igshid=1k60ys91gxoqj

It's a black and red kind of day. #handdyedyarn #indiedyersofinstagram #indiedyer #dyeingwool #dyeingyarn #yarn #fibrearts #Stitchnoir (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrYLexlFhO7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lroe8uk45maj

My dye order has arrived so this afternoon I will be dyeing a bunch of yarn this particular colour to fill a scarf order. So many people seemed enamored with this colour that I will be sure to die a few extra skeins! ;) Starting with bulky weight for the order, what other yarn weights would you like to see in this colour? #indiedyers #teallove #dyeingwool #handdyedyarn #yarn #yarnporn #iloveyarn #fibrearts #Stitchnoir (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqK_9k5FvEx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10c63eo38lqyy

Morning experiment, trying to match the colour of a pair of arm warmers to make someone a custom scarf. Subtle changes but for experiments in, I think I have it!
