Going green!

My first test dye up with the new line of dye, Greener Shades!
I love that they smell less than Landscape dyes, need less dye and still have produced a pretty vibrant colourway even on BFL which normally just drinks the dye and is a bit muted!!
I wonna dye more of it and then order bigger jars of them, can't wait to try the other colours!

This beauty is going to the US, I am so proud I made my first etsy sale and it is going international!!
Thought I would upload a few and see if they would sell and yep I was right.
Nornally good things don't happen on a Tuesday as I had my D&C three weeks ago so this has cheered me up after a very awful day!
Hoping for some more sales!!

A dye up with a new type of yarn, it is worsted Merino , anti-felt treated!
Took the dyes beautifully and it was not hand "painted"!!
It is incredible soft!!
