Dyed mule yarn
« 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.

That looks lovely, it will look great with jeans. We will need photos of the finished jumper!

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.
