dyeing

Wooly Wednesday and LOTS of dyeing

/ Ellie / Leave a comment

So I have been very lucky and made it through the application process for the Farnham Maltings new autumn show – Sweater Weather

I have been working extremely hard dyeing up lots of yarns ready for the show!

These yarns aren’t available online yet as I just haven’t had time to sit and list them… but any left after Sweater Weather will be listed for sure!!

Which ones are your favourite??

Have you ever fancied dyeing your own yarn!?

Well I have developed a kit just for you!!!

The kit contains:

  • Two 100g skeins of our pure Llanwenog Aran weight yarn
  • A professional grade dye specially blended for you, in two colours and you can choose the base colour, and either a tonal or contrasting colour!
  • Gloves
  • Stirrers
  • A full set of instructions helping you to get the effect you want from your own hand dyed yarn!

A perfect gift for a knitter or crocheted for Christmas to give them a taste of creating their own unique yarns!!

The yarn is a gorgeous pure Llanwenog yarn, from the sheep here on our holding. These sheep grow enormously bouncy fleeces and we take them to a local mill, literally a few miles up the road from us here is West Wales where they get scoured, sorted and spun up into a wonderful yarn, which is next to skin soft, and fabulous to knit with.

The yarn literally drinks in the colours!!

What colour would you dye??
