WoooooooooL!!!!

Okay, so I knew I ordered a lot of wool.  People - IT'S A LOT OF WOOL!!!

In dye baths now, blends of:  pink orchid/deep magenta, sunflower yellow/brilliant yellow, fire engine red/cayenne red.  Green is up next.  These are colors for the [rose] needle felting class I'll teach at Pheebie's Needleart http://www.phebies2.com/ July 30th, 10am - noon.  Will also dye purple, lavendar, yellow and green for those who wish to use the pansy needle felting mould.

Soaking in water, awaiting their turn in the dye bath; four skeins of extreme thick-n-thin yarn.  Have this yen to blend cayenne red and magenta - wowee!  Oops, just remembered I need to soak yarn for fringe, too.  Okay, taken care of.  Gotta do stuff like that immediately, or I'll forget!

I want to spin up some natural/dark BLF blend, then over dye it, maybe denim blue.  Extreme thick-n-thin for a scarf kit.  Oooo, I like it!  Charcoal gray, too.  Must be time for me to go and play at the spinning wheel!  Oh my gosh - fun!!!
