Silk Hankies

I bought some lovely silk hankies from Fancy Fibers Farm at the Taos Wool Festival. I finally got around to dyeing them. I used dye from the Greener Shades starter kit and I'm very pleased with the way they came out. I was using a beautiful bouquet my husband had sent to me as inspiration and I think I got pretty close. (Excuse the mess in the photo, it was during the "Hurry! Need to get to school!" morning rush.)




I plan on dyeing quite a few more things in the coming weeks. I bought 5 packages of Bare Wool of the Andes roving from KnitPicks. I'm not sure what colors I'll come out with but I can't wait to find out.
