Round 4, Golden Ochre

I'm seriously in love with this one. I think this was the first one that I put in the CROCK POT, and not the rice cooker.

I will say that the addition of a candy thermometer has been incredibly helpful in making sure that the water is hot enough. My crock pot has 2 settings "on" and "really hot, have a nice day".

With this one, I mixed up Lemon & buttercup in one glass & a wee bit of copper & brown in the other.

I prepped the fiber, and once the yellows dissolved, I put those into the dyebath. I waited a minute & repeated this, adding the copper/brown.

I've really got to make myself a lightbox, because this photo doesn't even begin to show all that's going on with this roving.
