I had my first experience of dyeing wool with the spinners at Gwen's gorgeous home. I chose to use a sock blank and put one end in the cobalt blue dye and the other in the orange dye. Where the two colours met there is a greeny shade. I have now ripped the blank and I have two identical balls of wool to knit two socks. Where there were two strands together the inside of the strands have not taken so much dye so I got a speckled effect. I am going to call the socks my "Summer Sunset over a Stormy Sea Socks".
