Into the dyepot.....


I'm a little nervous. I've spun up some baby alpaca and although not perfect, it's already very dear to me. But it's on its way to the dyepot.
I usually dye before I spin because dyeing fiber seems more forgiving than dyeing yarn.
I'm making a peruvian hat for a friend that has requested humanely raised fiber. So I'm using some baby alpaca top I bought from Fair Meadows Farm in Auburn, WA.
I dyed some of the natural fawn color top a deep chestnut with Jacquard acid dye.


But now I have to come up with a contrasting shade to complement the chestnut and
fawn. I'm thinking gray.
I'm hoping I can get an even color......
