First dyeing of 2019

 Dyed yarn drying. Most of this is a commission; the two skeins on the left are sock yarn that got stuffed in to fill the pans. Rather pleased with the brightness and colour-depth.

 Off the needles this morning, cast on on Friday morning, spun on Thursday evening. Mark needed a plain beanie, no bright dragons or disreputable deer, so this is woollen-spun Shetland 2ply, for warmth, and a simple 2x2 rib that I really enjoy starring into the crown.

New spinning. This is all merino d'Arles, semi-woollen spun from tops. The dyed is a Northern Lights colourway that's been for sale a bit too long. Really pleased with the spinning, but think I need more. No undyed of this fibre left, but there's some more in the boxes.

There's my first show of the year a fortnight today: part of Bradford's Bishop Blaize Festival at the Industrial Museum. Dyeing proper will commence afterwards.

I have quite a few guild workshops booked in for this year, in spinning, fibre-prep and felting, and I want to do a post about spinning from tops too.
