Dyeing with Helen and Donna

The local fibre fanatics met today at Helen's house to dye some of the wool fleece we got from Lisa on shearing day. We used Ashford dye that is ment specifically for dyeing wool and Procion Fibre Reactive Dye. The Ashford dye was amazingly brilliant. Loved it!  The Provion wasn't as bright, but I have seen better colour from Procion on wool before. I will have to find out why it didn't work as well as it should have. This dyeing always seems to be tricky!!

Here is a photo of two felted cuffs that Helen made. Hers are the pink ones. The blue one I just started. They are made by needle felting.
