The other day when I was dyeing I decided that it would be fun to share where I do all my dyeing. I have converted our enclosed porch into my little dye studio. I is nothing fancy, but i works for me. I love all the light I get in there and I also love the fact that the kids can be outside playing and I can keep an eye on them while I'm getting something done at the same time.
It looks like a mess, but it is a organized mess :) Both tables are preped and ready to go.
This is roving that is all spun out and ready to be dyed, I'm doing this one some semi-solids.
Here you can see that I use old milk jugs and make my most common colors by the gallon. The less common colors I use small soda bottles.
Here is some of the of the fiber that I dyed drying on the clothes line.
Finally, maybe you saw this big pile in the first picture. This is my done pile. Well its kind of done.... its done in the sense that its all dyed and pin drafted, now it just needs to be weighted skeined and tagged,lol. This is one job that I can't wait to give the girls when they are a little older ;)
