Yesterday I decided to process some of the mohair that I purchased from Southern Mystic, a fellow Phatty for the Phat Fiber Box, on Etsy. After washing in some Dawn detergent, I started up 2 different dye pots. After mixing and adding colors, layering the colors as the fiber started absorbing the previous colors, this is what I ended up with. It took longer to dry because it got caught out in a summer rain storm yesterday. But today has been super clear and sunny, and the fiber is warm, soft, and super fluffy. Might me time for a fiber nap... I'm not sure if you can tell from the pictures, but this stuff is so shiny! I thought I would only use it for felting, but I think I have changed my mind. I had to go back and order more today. I also ordered her Sci-fi spin along, I got a sample in my Phat Sampler box and I was hooked!
Gorgeous, Kelly!!
ReplyDeleteLush!
ReplyDeleteI used to think mohair was TOO shiny, but that is impossible. These colors and this fiber look wonderful in their colorfulness and shininess!
