Fresh from the dye pots!

I wish that this photo could convey the true beauty of the dyed fleece, but my video camera does not give justice to the subtle color changes. So sad! I will have to add a verbal description so that you will have a better idea of the results.

The yellow is actually a daffodil which has a faint touch of green at the tips. It is not a bright yellow daffodil, but a golden with a bit more "gold" than yellow. Think orange-yellow and you will be closer to the shade.

What looks to be pink is a shade of rose with warm undertones to it. Think a deep rose-orange.

The bright blue with touches of pink? Well, start with navy blue and move through shades of blue and include just a touch of blue-green. Add to this a touch of purple, maroon and lighten it all with a bit of dark pink!

Works of art all and they will be placed on the drying racks to await carding into rovings.

Will they stay as they are? Who can guess? I know that I cannot at this stage and they may be carded with mohair or starfire or any of another mixture of colors as well! Such fun!
