🎉Shop Update!🎉 A new immersion dyed version of our popular speckle dyed colorway "Urban Decay" on Lleaf combed top (superwash merino, bamboo, nylon). For this batch I chained the combed top, applied a low immersion base layer of cool grey and then added a dry dye application of warm grey, bright blue, neon green and neon orange. The chained fiber preparation creates resist where the dye cannot penetrate leaving undyed areas and recreating the feel of this beloved colorway that is normally speckle dyed on yarn.⁠ ⁠ Image Description: Four braids of hand dyed superwash treated merino wool, bamboo and nylon combed top spinning fiber on a white background. The wool is dyed in cool and warm greys with pops of bright turquoise blue, neon green and neon orange. The bright accent colors have layered with the greys in places, creating muted tones. Areas of the fiber remain undyed.⁠ ⁠ #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #combedtop #spinningfiber #wool #spinnersofinstagram #imakeyarn #handspun #handspunstagram #yarnmakersofinstagram #yarnlove #fiberartistsofinstagram #handdyed #handspunyarn #handspinning #spinning #craftersofinstagram #crafting #fiberarts #handmade #immersiondyed #shophandmade #handmadebusiness #artisanmade #makersgonnamake #makersofinstagram #creativepreneur #madebyhand #makersmovement https://www.instagram.com/p/ColcUVZOxAA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#MarchMeetTheMaker Day 9 Catchup: Trial & Error I often liken our one of a kind combed top batches AKA Elli AUs (for alternate universes) to sketches. They are a low stress way for me to not only use extra dye but also to play with new ideas, colors and techniques. Some of these ideas are refined into new, repeatable core colorways and some are just moments in time that a select few will get to enjoy transforming into handspun. Continuing to engage play and take chances in a low risk format is critical for my artistic mental health. How do you engage play in your day to day life? #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #fiberart #combedtop #handdyed #spinningfiber #handspun #handspunstagram #fiberartistsofinstagram #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #handspun #handspunstagram #makerslife #artistlife #handmade #yarnmakersofinstagram #iloveyarn #behindthescenes #wool #dyersofinstagram #dyeing #immersiondyed Image Description: A closeup of four twisted hanks of wool combed top mostly submerged in water in a stainless steel catering pan. Dark royal purple dye has been poured over the bottom half of the fiber and tendrils of the dye make their way towards the undyed portion of the pan. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpoAe0wpSw_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have two more Elli AU colorways dropping this week so keep an eye out! 👀⁠ ⁠ Image Description: Four braids of hand dyed targhee wool combed top spinning fiber on a white background.
