Orange and Gold Superwash Wool Yarn - Hand Spun and Dyed by Megan LaCore
I never got a photo of this whilst spinning, or even fresh off the spindle, but here is my first hand spun, hand dyed yarn while dying. You can see the water is just starting to turn clear, meaning the yarn has fully absorbed the dye. I started with superwash wool so I wouldn't accidentally felt my yarn (which I did a few dye batches after this one, but it knit up ok anyway). I like the rich, deep yellows and hints of sunny yellows.
Here's the freshly dyed skein, hanging on the door at my friend's house to dry. It's not being weighted as to not set the twist yet.
Here's my finished yarn after thread-plying with metallic gold thread and all twisted up. Not bad for a beginner!
Here's my pretty new yarn hanging out in my garden, encouraging the sugar snap peas to grow! Look at those vibrant colors, and how the metallic thread sparkles and shimmers! I love this yarn. :)
