These are my first efforts in dyeing wool. I steamed them for 40 mins. I washed and dryed the suffolk fleece first. The top piccy shows the difference between the way it looks before carding, and after to distribute the colours better.

I like the colours in the first picture best. Well done, I haven't tried dyeing yet, it's on my "to do" list! Very Happy

Looking good, let us see how it looks after spinning. I always think that really shows up the dyebatch to best effect, often its wildly different that you thought whilst dying it Very Happy
