Spinning and Dyeing Homework

 In my spin class, we got a homework assignment and some fiber to do a practice project.


We were given three different fibers - 

Superwash Blue Face Leicester

Merino/Silk Top

Black Wenslydale


The assignment was to spin the each of the fibers separately as a single and then ply the white fibers with the black fiber.


We were then suppose to dye the skeins of yarn to see how the different fibers take the dye.


Here are my results - I decided to use the same color dye on both to really see the difference.

I really can't see much of a difference in the way the different fibers (the white stuff) took up the dye.  The colors look about the same to me.
