Lavender Loveliness-Dyeing A Hank of Merino/silk roving

 

The other day I dyed a 100 g hank

 of the lovely Bare roving, 

which is a soft blend of Merino and silk.

I used 1 tsp of violet acid dye solution 

to 8 ounces of water to achieve the soft lavender color that I wanted.

I’m going to spin this into a lace weight yarn

 so that I can knit a cowl for this winter.

I’m going to use the pattern, 

Col Rivière, 

by Solenn Couix Loarer.

You can find the pattern on Ravelry.

Spin on,

Judy
