@ClickingSticks @vtknitboy @rahardjoknits I'm picking up more of my secret stash of white alpaca tomorrow night! I'll post after I have it.


@ HetWolbeest you too, have a good one! #spinchat


I like being able to make my own color combinations. It makes for a fun day. #spinchat


I like to use paint method for my yarn and then set it in the microwave. #spinchat


I process all three ways. I mostly kettle dye, but also do paint and microwave too. #spinchat


I also will put the powder dyes straight onto the fiber in the pot using 3 different colors depending on the affect I'm going for #spinchat


What do you mean by 'paste out'? #spinchat


I use Dharma acid dyes. I use a bit of vinegar. #spinchat


I don't know how to do the natural plant dying, so I use acid dyes. Im taking a workshop this year to learn how to do natural dye #spinchat


I dye raw alpaca fiber and yarn and roving. I've had a bit of trouble with my alpaca roving felting once in a while. #spinchat


One of my favorite ways to spend a rainy day is dying fiber in the kitchen #spinchat


Talk to you all next week! Spin on! #spinchat


I have a white and grey blended alpaca roving I'm spinning right now. It's a beautiful blen #spinchat


Q4 I don't really do holiday projects either. Too much pressure. I want to enjoy the holidays! :) #spinchat


I had no idea there were so many mags out there about spinning! #spinchat


A2 I'm going to start working with other fiber besides alpaca. I want to try sheep wools and maybe yak. #spinchat


@axomaa I've heard about world of wool for the first time this week. I am going out there as soon as spinchat is over. #spinchat


@HetWlbeest oh, I'm so glad you won it. I hope you enjoy it! :) #spinchat


I spin mostly DK for my alpaca, but when I spin with wool, it ends up being heavier. I'm not that used to wool, so that may be it #spinchat


@tintinafibers I'm taking a weaving class in January and I'm getting a loom. Can't wait! #spinchat
