Indigo-go

We wanted to test out how well two local yarns are able to take in dye for an upcoming project. A thicker yarn for our weaving and a thinner sock weight for knitters.

SongSpirit Studio - Lopi chunky 100% wool

Gave them a soak

Got the vat going - 10 minute dips with 30 minute air dry out of the sun.

Results of the first dip. Wool yarn on the right from another project and 5th dip.

After the third dip, the beautiful yarns really showed the depth of colour range they can take on.

Overall very happy with the results!
