This plant from Nikki for Easter was my inspiration yesterday to heat up the dye pot. My dyed stuff makes a lovely background for the Tulips.
This fiber is dyed from roving that I picked up on Saturday from Zeilinger's mill in Frankenmuth. They did a beautiful job cleaning and processing it. And (heh, heh, wringing hands and cackling) I have over 5 pounds that will keep me dyeing for a long time.The fiber itself is 75% white alpaca that I purchased from Okko, 20% white lamb Merino that I purchased from McMurrays, and 5%Mohair that I purchased from Edie at SpinningMoonFarm.
I'm so pumped to dye that I'm going to get at it again today (as soon as the View is over ☺)

Thank you for mentioning Zeilinger's mill and giving us a link. I think that would be a fun business to be in, and even more so, it's a great resource to know about.
Nice colors. They ARE very spring like. I WISH i didn't have so much going on...You're getting me into the dyeing mood. I have a 4 pound fleece I bought last year that I'm just itching to dye up.
Love the colors you dyed your roving, it looks good enough to eat!
That roving is gorgeous!!!! I love the Springy colors. You visited my blog and wasn't even a Sunday!!!!! :) thanks for leaving the kind comments. Yes, the said thing is I don't think many of the "mean spirited" people even realize what that are saying or doing. Glad you aren't one of those though!!!!!
That looks like a lot of fun. Very pretty and springy.
what beautiful burst of spring energy those batts are!
Maple,
Your dyed fibers were just what this winter-tired Vermonter needed to look at to remind me that Spring is indeed around the corner. Lovely, uplifting colors!
Maple these springy colorways are beautiful! I love the roving with the tulips and the wallabies came out great!
