I’ve been busy dyeing sample skeins of cotton. I am trying to match the colours in some source pictures. Once I get them right, I’ll be dyeing the warps for a weaving design workshop. The only(?) problem is that the workshop is on Saturday and I’m still at the sampling stage. If the ones currently ‘cooking’ fill the last few gaps, I’ll dye the actual warps tomorrow and Rys and I will warp up both table looms on Friday. Wish me (no, us) luck!!!!
Anyway, this morning I had a lovely surprise when a small padded envelope dropped through the letter box, and inside were …
They were handknitted for me by the wonderful Gina, who used to host this blog on her site. they are less than 2″ top to toe. I don’ tknow whether the yarn was handspun and/or home-dyed but neither would surprise me.
Aren’t I lucky?!?

Is this handspun cotton? Are you painting it or vat dyeing? I’m planning on dyeing some cotton this weekend. Have a slew of baby blankets to make and I have several cones of white Softball.
I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you before your weekend dyeing. I’ll look out for a report of it on your blog. More details of mine will be here as soon as I get it written and the pics uploaded. I used 3 types of commercial yarn.
