Back to Weaving

Some weeks ago I talked to Hampshire Guild about acid dyeing and had taken a series of photos showing the procedure. I ended up with a chained skein of Hampshire handspun. I finished weaving the yarn this morning and have done the small of mending needed as well as dealing with the fringes.

I am not sure I like the end effect but it does make both sides look the same. This was it finished but unwashed. It has now been washed and is hanging up. I must have been lazy about rinsing after dyeing because a lot of dye came out in the washing. I will keep this scarf as a sample as I am rather fed up with my current dyeing samples but, just in case I give it away, I have rinsed until the water ran clear. Next I am going to do another scarf out of the same dyeing session.

I decluttered the sitting room this morning. All that means is that the studio is even worse than before and a major visit to McMillan's charity shop is looming for next week.
