I finally got some good acid dyes. I've only ever used the basics... egg dyes, kool aid, etc. I now have 10 colors of Jacquard Acid Dyes. They are soooo amazing to work with. I purchased about 5 lbs of fiber from the Sheep Shed and went to town dyeing. The house smelled like wet dog/sheep for a few days, but in the end I got some lovely dyed fibers. Some of which are for sale in my Etsy Store and some I've been busy spinning up. Don't forget to use that code I posted a few days ago for a 10% discount! ATU42
Here's what parts of my house looked like.... a soggy wet mess. I can't wait for the weather to be good enough to hang thing outside to dry in the sun.
I made some mini skeins and dyed them in the base colors that I have so I can have swatches. I also mixed some colors and made samples for those too. I ended up knitting those little samples up into squares for reference later.
