Sometimes Our Failures Are Our Successes.

I'm a little obsessed with playing with colour right now.  I'm so excited with how the colours in the wool I'm dyeing blend together or fight one another in the skein.

One particularly happy project is my new table runner.  I wove it using Wool-Ease Sportweight dyed in pink, purple, blue, and green. The yarn is only 20% wool, so the result was very faint and uneven, (much like a kettle dyed wool).

 The final project was a lovely surprise. Before starting to weave on my Cricket, the colours looked quite distinct, but together they blend together so well.

I had thought that the dyes had been failures, but together the blend of the weft and weave is subtle, but really pretty; it almost makes me want to make more mistakes when dyeing.
