I'm still not quite brave enough to dye 100g of roving! In this video, I dye 20g of White Welsh Top with the intention of spinning it. This was the last project I dyed that day and thought out the day, I had been rinsing my fingers off in a jug of water. This was a lovely blue-grey colour, so I decided to use that to dye my last 20g of fibre. I squirted on some fluorescent fuchsia, which made a pretty pattern. After setting the dye in a low immersion set up, I decided to scribble on some more fluorescent fuchsia, then steam set in an attempt to save the pattern it made. Once the fibre had cooled, been washed and dried, I was able to spin it.

Fibre reactive dyes can be used on plant based fibre and animal based fibres. Acid dyes can only be used on animal based fibres.

I have a monthly yarn subscription that can be purchased through my Patreon:   / fromthecauldron   Each month you'll receive 100g of yarn in your chosen weight dyed in a mystery colourway and some goodies made by other small businesses. Another perk for Patreons is they get early access to the video where I dye that month's yarn and they get to vote for next month's theme and exclusive behind the scenes videos.
