Saturday we got a surprise. Those who wanted to were able to take their hand at hand dyeing some Good Karma Yarn! Oh yes, I did this with great enthusiasm, so much so that I did 4 skeins. I just love it! I can't wait to see what the socks will look like. I just may have to research that more and see what else I can learn about the whole process.
I think it is only fair that I share some of the hand dyeing photos too.
After everyone who did their hand-dyeing that wanted to, it was not finished.
All the skeins had to be bagged and cooked in the microwave for 14 minutes.
After been cooked, they had to be rinsed, and spun and then hung up to dry.
Since I was not cranking I took on the duty of helping out in the mill with these duties to make sure everyones yarn was processed and begun the drying. I also helped tidy up the mess at the end. Oh this was great fun, a good task to keep me out of trouble for the day. I started about 11:30 and then wound it all down at 4 to go back to check on MrB and he had a pair of socks ready for me to kitcherner which I did but first have all had to put my feet up! It was a great day and it was completed by having a lobster supper. We slept pretty darn good that day as we were exhausted. Sunday morning we did some more and then packed up. Great time had by ALL! So many thanks to all who attended and made it happen! Yay to me too, as I was the one who had the bright idea to bring everyone together for the event! I am very pleased :-) indeed!
