Sunny Saturday

I know it's just a weather tease but it was a gorgeous day.  Cool temps but lots of gorgeous sunshine.  It was the kind of day that being outside made you just wonder "could spring be right around the corner?"   I know we will have a few more blasts of winter before it's over but today I sensed Spring and I loved it.  After brunch with a gal pal I came home and hit the dye pots again.  I'm so loving dyeing wool.  This time I wanted to try out a little mottling.  So 2 pots, same color formula in each.  One pot I stirred and the other I just gently poked.
What do you think?  I have to say, for a first attempt I'm pretty pleased.   Next time I think I'll use less water in the mottled pot I had some other colors I wanted to try but didn't have the right dyes.  Guess I'll have to make another list

    Oh Kim, your wool is lovely. I knew that you'd get bitten by the dye bug. I'm so glad you're loving it. Just think of the possibilities. I so wish I had more time to hook and dye but I hope some day I will. I just have to be patient.
    Enjoy the nice spring like weather. My daffodils are just poking out in the back.
    Hugs,
    JB

    I love that color and you did so good getting it to mottle. I am so OCD that I just can't leave it alone long enough. I am so glad you are having spring weather and not mountains of snow like last year. I hope you have a great week Kim

    Dyeing wool is a lot of fun and it looks like you are "hooked"!
