More acid dyes.
- Didn't forget the acid in the plastic wrap method this time. Colors still a bit paler than planned: need proper measuring gear.
- Get protection glasses and a better mask 'cause this won't cut it.
- It looks like stuff felted again. Not sure which step is the problem, need to do steps separately, let it dry and see. I'm probably too impatient when cooling off the bath.
- Gradient yarn with kettle dyeing: nope, won't work. Probably need a flat pan for it to behave. I think I'll overdye it with darker green anyway
Starting to see the finish line on the BFL. No winding for a change.
More BFL, what else? And some more winding again.
Finished and rewound the silk - had to leave som behind, will chain-ply it separately maybe. And started the BFL.
More silk. More winding.
Day 3 and more silk. Also re-skeined the Polwarth and wound more thread.
Tour de Fleece day 2, and wound more thread.
Wound the variegateds and the Coloris, filling one box.
Finished combing the BFL.
Skeined and washed the Polwarth yarn (tentative name: Alicorn Barf).
Predrafted and started spinning one of the silk gradients.

Finished the purple ply. Re-skeined the alpaca.
Finished the rainbow ply, started the purple.
Combed the Polwarth. Plyed the alpaca (2-ply main skein and chain-plied leftover). Started spinning the Polwarth
Rewound bobbins to be even, finished up mini skeins, spun the second alpaca single
