Dyed and Plied

I didn't think this was going to work out but I'm happy with the end result. I bought superwash wool with nylon rovings to spin.

I dyed half of it black and the other half.....well, it came out of the dye pot mostly green. I need more practice with dying.

I'm currently in the process of plying the two together to make some sock yarn for myself. I might even enter it in the Fall Fair this year.

Aren't you just something! The annual fiber fair in Estes Park is coming up this weekend.

Please give all the lovely woollies a pet from me.

Both the materials and your spinning wheel are nice to look at. Do you ever make how-to videos for this?

Thanks.
There are a gazillion how to card/spin/dye videos on YouTube. They don't need another one.

The yarns are beautiful. Is that really black? I thought I saw navy highlights.

It's only in the photo that I can see navy blue. I had to dye that sucker THREE times to get it pitch black.

I predict warm and toasty feet for the winter.

I certainly hope so.
