Surprises

100% Tussah Silk in Orange Crush

One of the most important things I've learned with my dyeing experiments is to welcome surprises, both good and bad.

It's not that I don't like what came out of the dye pot, because I absolutely love orange, it's that the color is not exactly what I had intended.  I expected more yellow than red, but apparently the red won out.  

I had envisioned some golden silk to blend in with the magenta/purpley/black fiber I was going to play around with on the drum carder.   It could still work out.  We'll see.  I love surprises.
