| My yarn and a shibori sample |
Finally getting around to loading the pictures from last Thursday. The monthly Cross Borders Weavers Study Group was held at the studio of one of our members (I am jealous - she has an ENTIRE house a her studio). She had an indigo dye bath going for us to dye our yarn. I learned many things that day.
- If you wear sandals - you go home with indigo spotted toes.
- Silk doesn't dye as dark as cotton (or at least the silk I had)
- If you wind a long warp the same way you do for painting a warp and dump it into an indigo dye vat - you get a tangled mess.
- But all in all it was great fun - even if the yarn is not a dark as I wanted it to be.
