D'NALI

errrr … fiber. That’s all I can really say. I know I should be dyeing yarn more than I have been but man, fiber is a new awesome medium and I’ve been having a blast. I have been dyeing yarn too; right now I’m working on a custom dye color for a client. But fiber … LOLOL! I want to think that this spinning ~~obsession~~ love I have is driving even my dyeing escapades. If you’ve been on IG, you would have seen these before, but I’m putting them on the blog for posterity.

This first braid is 100% bfl (bluefaced leicester). I called this one “Mud Pie”. It’s amazing the end result when I look at the colors I started with. This is non repeatable because basically I just went to town with the colors. LOLOL! I can’t wait to spin this up in the Fall.

This one is a 100% Falkland (the breed that doesn’t exist as a sheep breed, but that’s another story) braid. I call this “Elisa The Beach Bum”. It was inspired by a beach photo posted on IG by my friend Elisa Dallomo.

This is “Crown Jewels”. Another Falkland braid I did for my friend Kathy who’s been amazing with her encouragement for my spinning adventures.

And this neon psychedelic was inspired by two of my favourite T.V. guys — Shawn & Gus — from T.V. series Psych. This one is named “Disco Was Murdered”.
Not to worry … some yarn got dyed solid, the dark garnet was over from a natural dye experiment that faded fast and the hand painted one was just fun trying out a new hand painting technique.
