My friend and classmate Cindy Fox recently put together a video slide show for Spinning and Weaving Week, which is Oct 4 - 10 this year. There are three sections - spinning, weaving, and dyeing. The section on dying was photographed at our "dye day" last March. It's here.
The yarn in the blue bowls of dye were part of my experiment in dying multiple shades of the same color. I have an idea for a monk's belt project where the warp will be hand dyed and go from dark to light to dark in shades of the same color. I need to tweak the dying process because the two lightest shades came out to be about the same color, but this was a good experiment.
The long light-green yarn that's being hand painted is also mine. I painted it with bright blue and yellow. I expect it will end up being warp for a scarf, but I haven't decided yet. I also painted several other warps that I haven't done anything with yet.
