A stay-cation that turned out to be very stressful. Choosing to not let the stress render me helpless resulted in these babies:
Semi solid purple, variegated colourway, solid dark grey.
It felt good to be back to my dye-pots.

Glad you found a way to manage your stress.
Me too lady!!! I’m glad I didn’t let the urge to do nothing win.
I am so sorry you had a stressful staycation!!!
That purple!!!omg…it is just magic and alive!! BRAVO!
Thanks sweets!!!! I think I’m finding my groove again! 😀
They all look lovely, but my favorite is the one in the middle! That is gorgeous. I love those colors. 😍
Thanks so much Opal!!! It turned out to be a treat, I wasn’t so sure about it before it dried but once it did I loved it.
Sorrry about the stress…seems that you managed it well, though. Those are beautiful yarns, Nicky. Breath, smell the flowers, take care of yourself–don’t wait for tomorrow. Do it now! xoxo
Yes maam! I followed your advice and I did take care of myself. Been trying to do it every day since then. Makes for a wonderful change in attitude and perspective.
Thank you ❤
So sorry about the stress!! But you came out of it with some gorgeous yarn. I hope playing with yarn was a big ahhhhhhhhhhh.
It really was; this was probably one of the highlights of that week.
My favorite one is the blue one – what a rich color! Beautifully done!
Actually, it’s a steel grey but depending on the light it can look like blue grey. I really do love it.
LOOOOOOOOOOVE the variegated color! But clearly you knew I would.
😀
Yes! I know you would! Can you believe, variegated is my least favorite dye technique? I know, I know … don’t unfriend me … LOLOL!
What?! Booooo.
LOLOL! But I’m still your e-friend right?
Sigh…I guess.
LOLOLOL! I think my entire building heard me laughing! Thanks boo! ❤
Yes…that purple is ‘golden’. I wish I could output some magicalness on my stressful days. Thanks goodness for crafty indulgences.
Yes I’m grateful for that! I had to do something crafty or else it wouldn’t have been pretty! 😀
Ohh… they are all lovely, but the middle is my favorite. What type of dye did you use? This week, I’m going to be experimenting with plants as dyes.
Can’t wait to see your plant dye experiments! I used acid dyes from a variety of sources — dharma trading, lanaset and cushing.
That purple… ooh, aah, soo beautiful
Thank you so much Sam! I think my dyeing sweet spot is doing semi-solid colourways. So far, I’ve not had any misses with the colorways I’ve dyed.
