2012 GLASG Dye Festival: Follow Up Post 2

I realized I haven't given an update about how the rest of my Dye Festival yarn turned out after the last follow up post.

Dye Day 2012 Follow Up Post 1

I spun some samples and spun up one of the 2 oz braids that I painted on Dye Day.

The samples turned out like this:

Follow up to GLASG Dyefest and my wool combing experience.

I said I was going to do a follow up but obviously I was super lazy...

In any case, here goes:

The dye fest yarn I tried to make into projects.

The red one turned out great:

I made it into a beaning. Someone offered to buy the beaning off my head! Of course I didn't sell it. It's the first slouchy beanie I made with my first hand-spun, hand-dyed yarn. How could I possibly sell it? It looked like this:

The blue yarn was dyed this beautiful purple-blue, but unfortunately it was my very first skein of yarn, and it was lumpy beyond belief. The cowl I tried to make with it looked so extremely ugly I destroyed evidence of both the yarn and the project. I will pretend it never existed. I still have pictures of the yarn... so here goes:

The Dorset I hand-combed, hand-spun, and hand-dyed, I haven't used. I unsuccessfully tried to dye it two different shades of brown, and it didn't turn out well, so I overdyed it with Wilton black. 

I didn't like this color break initially, but it's growing on me. I want to see what it'll knit up like, but I haven't gotten to it yet. 

GLASG Dyefest Recap

Last Saturday was GLASG's Dyefest. I had a great time!

My friend wanted to join GLASG earlier and come with me, but we did not find out that this is the one day where a person can't just show up to a meeting and join on the spot, so my poor friend missed this year's Dyefest. We will probably do our best to make next year's Dyefest. 

Everyone's lovely products. The two on the left are mine.
