Today being a rainy, cool Saturday - perfect to catch up with some of the tasks. I had the 3-ply all spun for the tartan sampler, but had not done any dyeing. I spend this morning dividing up the skeins into the required amounts and then pot dyeing them with Ashford wool dye.

The wool now has to dry and then it will be ready to divide (half for warp half for weft - loom waste will be scrap wool). That will be the next project after the ikat weaving is finished.
