Dying for yarn

The weather has turned bad again, yesterday we had snow combined with gale force winds, so it was interesting going out to feed the animals on the croft. The sheep are getting really tame, they come to the gate and wait for us to get the food ready.

I did a little weaving today, but it was very cold, the picture below is the snow that had made its way into my barn over the last few days, so I retreated back to the house and tried dying yarn for the very first time. I have been saving onion skins over the past few months, and had some hand spun yarn that I was saving to dye, and this is the result! I'm really pleased with how its turned out, and now need to find a project for it.

  1. Ooh, that looks lovely. The yarn that is, not the snow under the barn door! You're very clever :)
