Here are Cheviot singles spun and dyed in preparation for making green/purple, worsted-weight plied yarn for the Hemlock Ring Blanket. I have enough green singles spun for the large size (900yds), but I have only three hanks of purple - still enough for the smaller size. I wasn't feeling great this weekend, so I didn't spin as much as I wanted, but dying is a sedentary occupation.
I'm wondering what sort of bind off/edging I should put on this thing - the colors are going to be pretty wild as it is. I think I'll dye more Cheviot - maybe golden yellow this time - for a really annoying combination. I have only two problems: how much yarn will I need for the edging (depends on the final size and edging used) and how badly will the dark colors bleed. I dyed batts of the green years ago when I was learning to dye, and it was crocking as I spun. The yarn I just dyed (both purple and green) seem to be color fast.
