A Bellini, Please

June 14th, 2006

While I was dyeing for Dyeorama a couple of weeks ago I also dyed up some roving. I did a big 8oz hunk of domestic sort of splashed with hot pink and orange. It was the last thing I dyed and I was getting lazy and tired. I also dyed some firestar tinkle a deep orange. Once it was all dry I carded it up together. I sent one batt to my Dyeorama buddy, Mama E. Then a few days ago I spun up the rest. I ended up with 3 bobbins of a sportish weight. My plan was to ply but after a few minutes of that I realized plying wasn’t doing anything for it, so I’m sticking to singles. It reminds me of a nice sparkling Bellini at sunday brunch.
