I had a great time last year experimenting with procion dyes and fabrics and fully intend to do it all again. I'm sure it's addictive.MandellaUKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954514481537944916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226823.post-16964352616580631652007-05-12T19:20:00.000+01:002007-05-12T19:20:00.000+01:00Looks like you had a great time, despite the red d...Looks like you had a great time, despite the red dyed thumb ;-) your skeins have come out lovely and what fantastic colours, Well done!Curly Cablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04835368354777197899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226823.post-79219362279851936532007-05-12T15:34:00.000+01:002007-05-12T15:34:00.000+01:00I love the muted one - amazing how they've come ou...I love the muted one - amazing how they've come out so differently.

Next time soak the spun yarn which has been spun in the grease in hot water and I use washing up liguid to get off most of the grease . I know you can buy some stuff to scour fleeece but personally I find washing up liquid okay !!<BR/> Also did you soak your skeins before dyeing ? as this would give you differnt effects also . Eeee ain't it fun :) Totally addictiveArtis-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157617283083385412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226823.post-28947727940302538092007-05-06T12:51:00.000+01:002007-05-06T12:51:00.000+01:00Purple's just about come off now!

I do hope someone will know why the colours were so muted in the first skein, I'm interested to know.<BR/><BR/>(PS still here - downstairs have gone away so we're making the most of it!)acrylikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162096943282316585noreply@blogger.com
