Ignore the slight white fluff on the yarn. It is this stuff we have been given to practice on from the spinning class I have been going too. I swear the house looks like I own a huge white dog - or even bear, it gets everywhere.
Of course I did manage to make the same mistake again, with the dyeing that is. This time I really really thought the dye would have dissolved but was using a different colour and, well, it hadn't, dissolved that is. Not enough. It was awful too because I could see it happening and even though I frantically tried to mix it in all I ended up with was slightly tangled yarn.
I am thrilled though - and thrilled with the subtle colour change I am getting, thrillled. Did I say thrilled? I can't wait to do more of this now what I know what to do. My next challenge is green.
This first black spot -less skein of gorgeous orange is for my orange swap spoilee. As is this little project bag I have made. This is a taster - more details once the package is received.

Yay success!
Congratulations! The yarn looks great. Loving the fabric on the project bag as well.
Oh, the yarn looks great - fab colour! And the bag is fantastic too. I'm still working on my orange swap stuff too. I think my package is on the light side though, after seeing others on Ravelry already. I think yours will be great (please let me be your swap pal!!!) heh!
Excellent! I am not, typically, a fan of orange, but that is really lovely. Good work on sorting out the problem.
I am however a big fan of green, so cant wait to see whats next out of your dyepot!
