Thursday it was time to supplement my rainbow-dyed raw fleece and my carded batts.I had promised to help my sister to dye her homespun yearn too, so we had arranged a good long day for that project.

I dye in my oven in the roasting pan. I springle dyepowder on the wet wool and press the colours together. Now because my sister had a certain imagination of how her yarn should look, I had to be very, very carefull not to springle too much powder on and then suddenly I got the idea to pour just a little dyepowder on a wet piece of wool and then I could press it down on the yarn and make it much more accurate.Such a simple idea but incredible effective.
