It looks, my dear, like we are experiencing the same exercise in colour! Only mine is on a much larger scale than 1oz samples.

I had read that superwash was a pain to dye and so decided early on to forgo that torture. Now I’m really glad I did.

BTW my carder is available anytime esp. if you bring your hackles along

That style of dyeing can really make for interesting spinning too…especially a bit of white.

Hi Marie –

I agree they might be useful for blending and I have hackles coming soon so I can play around with the colours. I’m just SO irritated that I can barely stand to look at it right now.

Your dyes are gorgeous. It’s a shame the Superwash didn’t take them well. I wonder if you could just use it for blending. I always love to see a bit of undyed wool in an otherwise saturated color.
