Handspun and dyed yarn ...

Thanks a lot for your interest in my work on raw fleeces and wool !!! Thank you for your lovely comments ... 
I'm not as often as I want on the net ... because of this work on the fleeces. I can't wait the winter to do it !! So, I'm living outdoors. And I'm not on my computer. Please, forgive me to be a so poor follower of your blogs !!! 

I told you last week that the lack of rain and then of water for washing the fleeces leads me to spin in the fleece. See this one, a white alpaca fleece : 




With 133 grs, I got 2 skeins of 213 m/ 233 yd each and of 2-plys.  
I washed them ... 



Before dyeing them : 


I used the Greener Shades to dye the fibers. 




What do you think of this first try of dyeing process ? 

I'm knitting it now : 


 It's a very thin yarn. I'm using 3,25 mm (US #3- UK #10) needles. 


I'm sooo happy with it !!! 

and I have so many to work on !! 

By then, 

Please Take Care
and 
See you soon !! 
xx
