We were lucky enough to have a few nice warm days recently so I decided to do some dyeing. After spinning up a jumper worth of wool during July for the tour de fleece I wanted to dye up some skeins so I can get ready to start knitting Birkin sweater by Caitlin Hunter.
I had carded a brown wool fleece with a white alpaca fleece to create a brown base colour but I really didn't want another brown jumper so I decided to over dye the main body skeins with apollo bay landscape dye (blue).
I then used some other landscape colours to dye other skeins to be used in the yoke pattern.
