Dyed wool

I dyed some wool last week. Method: cling film and a steam cooker.

This is Finnish wool, a mix of Finnsheep and Finnsheep/Texel cross. Soft and not very long, just above 7 cm which is what’s required for commercial tops. It behaves a bit like Merino: gets bigger and bigger while drying because of great amount of crimp.

I’ll spin two braids during TdF.

    Looks like you had fun dyeing – nice bright colors. And what a great steamer. Haven’t seen one like that. I hope you will share a photo of your yarns after spinning some of it up.
