Dyeing angora...day 2
Topic: dyeing
So, out of the dye bath came the angora, and I let it cool to room temp, which took 5 hours. I then rinsed it to be sure the dye had taken (!), and pulled it out to see what I got.

Mixed results. The angora on the INSIDE of the rolls did not take the dye thoroughly. I suspected I had not let it sit in the dye long enough for the dye to permeate all the way to the center of the sausages BEFORE adding heat.

So, I divided the lot into two piles...the first looked good to me:

and the second needed redyeing:


I redyed the second lot and it came out great.

Tomorrow (or soon!) I will post the results of what I am doing with this fabulous stuff!

I liked both pictures. I can't wait to see what your planning to do with it.
