Rainbow Bunny

I have been remiss in blogging lately. My excuse is that I've been busy moving stuff around the house and setting up my studio room. (How cool is that ! I'll post some pictures when it's looking presentable).

Easter came and went but to celebrate I thought I'd try some dyeing with Easter egg dyes. As well as the angora fibre I wanted to dye, (Saffy) I rounded up a few little odd bobbins I had spun on my drop spindle.

I wound them up on my trusty skein winder.

I also found some llama and grey romney that looked like it wanted be colourful.

Here is what they all looked like after I added the dyes, wrapped them in plastic film and "nuked" them in the microwave. Not that appetizing ! As well as the easter egg dyes, (which were a bit disappointing really, big on packaging, small on actual colour sachets), I used food colouring.

But here is what it looked like when I unwrapped those plastic parcels and rinsed it all.

And the angora.And the skeins. At least they are all one colour now !
