Hand-dyed rovings


All_0685, originally uploaded by maystone1.

Rovings are an interim step between raw fleece and yarn. Hand-spinners use rovings to spin their own yarn. You can also use rovings to knit or crochet with.

FYI, these all started out as a peachy salmon color. In fact, they're the rovings that Pixel was lounging around on in that pic of her I posted a few days ago. Dar can do wonderful things with hot water, powdered dyes, and vinegar :)
