Title: Dyed mule yarn
Post by: Bionic on July 31, 2015, 01:30:38 pm: This is the mule yarn I have been spinning. The original colour is grey/brown/black flecks. I have overdyed it with navy acid dye and I must say I am very pleased with how it has turned out.
The intention is to make a jumper that will go with jeans.
