I had what I consider a successful dye session this morning. With some blending on the drum carder, I hope to replicate rhubarb. The colorway was inspired by this photo shown in an earlier post.
I can imagine a pair of socks from this, the deep red on the feet, mixing with the green just above the ankle, and changing to all green at the ribbing on top. Or even better as mittens, so all of the color change shows. Or a scarf, red at both ends, mixing with green as you go up and completely green at the neck? Or...I'll stop there. I still have to do the blending and spinning! Unless I decide to felt with the batts instead.

Love the colors. Can't wait to see the product. Hmmmm, I wonder what I can do in red and green.

gorgeous! I have a 'rhubarb' scarf - my daughter bought it from Eurodisney for me, its the kind of material that shimmers different colours depending on how the light strikes it, in this case raspberry red/goldy limey green. You have to look really closely at the pattern to see the tiny Mickey Mouses (Mice?)!
Lovely colors!
You sure have a knack for dyeing. Looks to me like you hit those rhubarb colors right on! Eager to see what you do with it.
wow, those colors make me hungry! Beautiful!
