Came out really nice both the moss and the tobacco leaf
Thanks! I’m really happy with them. I’m almost done with a sweater with the moss!
These are fabulous, is it a worsted weight?
Great! show us that too please.
That is just gorgeous I bet your daughter is very happy.
Wow!!
Those are both lovely! I like the tonal variation you got.

Beautiful!
Very pretty!!! What will you make with this?
So fun!
I have no idea! I don’t know how much it will yield. I am thinking of starting a swatch scarf for my learning experiments.
Great job!
This is pretty!
If you have a fiber that wants to felt on the stove top I have found solar dyeing is a good way to go. you just put your fiber, color, and acid in a big jar and leave it in the sun to cook.
I’ve never had a problem with felting. I’ve read that it is drastic temperature change and agitation that causes felting not just heat.
Thanks everyone!. @Sommerfugl I might just have to try that along with my sun tea. I’ve seen a lot of examples on Chemknits FB page.
Nice work and super result! What is the fiber?
So pretty!
@Carlota, it it some Cheviot, not really meant for next to the skin, or anything like that, but it was a nice sturdy practice fiber. I’m finding the Corriedale much trickier. I yielded about 25 g of this single. Now to decide which way to ply!
