Just to finish off my previous post on the pink dye, these are the final photos/weights of the wool I dyed.
Bearing in mind we weighed out just enough dye to dye the 200g cardigan, I think I did pretty well to dye all the above. These come to 360g in total.
Starting with the two skeins on the left, these were the first two to be submerged in the dye - Alpaca/Silk, weighing 160g between them. The third from the left is 80g of either Falkland/Silk or Merino/Silk (must write things down!) and went into the dyepot next. Surprisingly, the final skein to go in there turned out to be the darkest (work that one out!). This is definitely Merino/Silk and weighs 40g.
Finally, 80g of Falkland fleece was stuffed in there and still came out a really nice pink.
Sorry about the quality of the photos - for some reason I find pink very difficult to photograph. It aways comes out sort of fuzzy and shocking!
