Growing Colour Tyfu Lliw

This is both about growing colour quite literally as plants in my garden and also about using them. I dye fibres with natural dyes and use them to "paint" with. This is how I make my landscapes , mostly of the North Wales countryside Mae Tyfu Lliw yn enw addas iawn i'r 'blog' yma. Yr wyf yn cael hwyl yn tyfu bob math o flodau i Helen i'w defnyddio. Mae hi yn creu lluniau bendigedig, mae y lliwiau yn hollol naturiol, ac felly'n gweithio'n dda iawn yn rhoi lliw credadwy o'r wlad o'm cwmpas

Spun Mohair

This is the first spinning of the carded mohair I dyed in my previous post. I carded it with a little-just a little glitter, used a glitter thread as a core thread and then plied it with yet more of the sequined yarn.
mmm!
Am I happy?
It is okay but not quite the cloudsof mohair I wanted.
I shall have to try again
