We are moving to a hybrid meeting platform, which will include Zoom links when we meet face to face in order to allow many more members to attend if they can't be there physically. A person could spend a lifetime learning about the interplay of color in weaving. But in weaving, it becomes more complicated due to the intersections of warp and weft.

In this presentation, Mary will present the major ways that yarn is dyed; how to figure out how your yarn was dyed; and what that will likely look like in warp and weft. For the spinners, Mary will take the idea of controlling your outcome one step further back and show you how you can take an Indie-Dyed braid of fiber and control the outcome resulting yarn by your spinning decisions. AND on Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent out the week before the meeting.

Go to the Calendar Page for more details. The fiber was hand dyed and had many blues and teals, which is right in my favorite corner of the color spectrum. The knit stitch is Honeycomb Brioche which makes lovely scales that fit nicely with the colors. The yarn is a two ply and consistency was not a priority evidently , so the yarn varies between lace and DK weight. My original plan was to weave something with it, but it inspired a different project.
