The weather outside was beautiful today, low humidity and low temperatures. A perfect day for dying wool! I realized that I needed quite a few colors for the upcoming fall classes, so I got out the dye pots and got busy. I started dying wool at 8am and it's now 6pm and the pots are still cooking. Didn't realize I had so much wool laying around that could be dyed. That was a nice surprise. Dying is such a process I usually make a day of it and get as much done as I can so I only have the mess to clean up once! At least I should have enough wool for classes now. Look at the pile of wool I started out with. I eventually went through crates and added to that pile. That's a lot of wool to dye but I was determined to get it done since the weather was so nice.

Look at the huge pile of wool I'm starting out with. All that needs to be dyed!
