Some for Consignment, and More for Me!

Take a Shine to Mohair!

And another thing I’ve been doing is packaging bite-sized morsels of mohair for consignment.

Guess what, I found two boxes of locks dyed this summer that I totally overlooked for the Fair this year. I didn’t need to take up space with a “Grab Bag” box after all. Whatever! They were a brown, and yet another blue. They wouldn’t have been big sellers.

One of the things I’m doing at Playtime is working on these locks I fell hard for at the Fair:

The Story So Far

Not done yet; have mostly the darker shades to go.

Here’s a shot of some of it against the last piece of fabric I made at weaving school; I always enjoy seeing how I not-purposely make things the same or complementary colors over and over. “Well yeah, Tytania, it helps that you’re a green maniac.” Other day at the market in my green suede and green felt hat and green fancy purse someone asked, “Let me guess, your favorite color is green.”

Do I Overdo It?

The F*ck It Dye-It!

My pox feels better.

I dyed today. I have so much yarn left over from the fair isle hat I could easily do another. But I thought how I would improve it, and I wanted a dark brown in place of the green.

I did not achieve what I wanted. First I come up with a brown almost EXACTLY like the medium brown already in the hat (even though that was a ProChem color and these were Greener Shade dyes). I added green then I got something too close to the green already in the hat. Then I added more orange and got this and said Fuck It.
