Quiet Moments for Dyeing



It's a busy household with a new puppy.. when he's awake, it's a constant check to see what he is up to. Amazing how quickly they can get into mischief. I must say he does take puppy naps so during that time I get things done. This weekend I did some dyeing of colours I felt were lacking in my stash...
They are done on 5-6 different textures and all in the same bath. I like to vary it up a bit when I dye. Rarely do I dye yards of natural wool unless it is for the Island Cottage Needlearts end of the business. I like bits and pieces of variety.




I am going to be using the Robins Egg Blue for my background on this Honey Bee rug hooking pattern. I think I may offer it as a kit also on my website. The paper pattern is available there as are all these wools.



Sharon just e-mailed me with a new rug she designed. I love bunnies. This one is called Bunny Umbrella. Her rugs are so whimsical! This one will be available the end of May along with her other 3 new ones. She is so productive! Wish I could have just a quarter of her output...



Happy Hooking...
